lyrics

it’s a tragedy
that you’ll never see
the tire tracks in the snow
‘cause you drove too fast
and didn’t look back
or tell me to let go

see, i listen too carefully
for things i won’t hear
so how should i have known
that your word wasn’t gospel
as you disappeared
my last-straw mortal blow

(let go) dare to ask why
(let go) but a question, a weight
(let go) i pictured your sigh
(let go) how you’d say

always the good guy
never to blame
always the wrong side
never the game

always the new dawn
wasting to shame
always the bleach blond
ash in the flame, ash in the flame

it’s a travesty
that you’ll never see
what’s left behind at home
‘cause time flew and my mind’s new
fits to a tee
the cage it won’t outgrow
all alone, i’m still

shambling to pieces
could never find peace
unless i could finally show
‘stead of waiting to melt
until after the freeze
i was more than what you know

(you know) dare to ask why
(you know) but an answer, a weight
(you know) i pictured my cries
(you know) how i’d say

always the good guy
never to blame
always the wrong side
never the game

always the new dawn
wasting to shame
always the bleach blond
ash in the flame, ash in the flame
ash in the flame, ash in the flame

doesn’t matter anyway
if i could meet myself, i’d scream
don’t waste your life on faith

say your goodbyes, but know
your someone isn’t there
hold on tight, but know
you’re clinging to thin air

say your goodbyes
a silhouette now if you stare
hold on tight, you know
your world’s got room to spare
that you’ll fill with empty prayer

always the good guy
never to blame
always the wrong side
never the game

always the new dawn
wasting to shame
always the bleach blond
ash in the flame, ash in the flame
ash in the flame, ash in the flame

ash in the flame
ash in the flame
ash in the flame
ash in the flame, ash in the flame

ash in the flame
ash in the flame
ash in the flame
ash in the flame
