Skrevet både til en kjæreste og til en søster, som jeg begge mistet omtrent på samme tid.

Tekst:

I'm moving on, it feels like
But now I'm lying here again
And it's so hard to pretend.

You fly along, living your life
And I am standing here alone
In the ashes of our love

Prechorus+ref:
And I carry the ashes in a chain around my heart
And I'm trying to go on with life
Oh, I know I'm gonna end up going back to the start
And I don't want to live in a lie

So I stand up and I fall
And I'm breaking into a crawl
And I'm curling into a ball
And I'm crying my heart out
Trying to get control
But I'm losing sight of my goal, an my heart

It turns to ash

Vers 2:
But then one day
You pass me by
Was it all a lie?
'Cause by your side
All I see is a reflection

But soon enough
It turns to stone
And I am standing here alone
As it crumbles to the ground

And I carry the ashes in a chain around my heart
And I'm trying to go on with life
Oh, I know I'm gonna end up going back to the start
And I don't want to live in a lie

So I stand up and I fall
And I'm breaking into a crawl
And I'm curling into a ball
And I'm crying my heart out
Trying to get control
But I'm losing sight of my goal, an my heart

It turns to ash
Ooooh

Outro:
But at the end of the day
I can't put these things away
And though your love for me is gone
there's a fire burning strong
As I carry deep within
This hell you've put me in
I thank the heavens up above
For the ashes of our love
