Lyrics
I burned the bridge, I burned the name, Told myself it’s all the same. Watched the smoke climb toward the sky, Asked the wind if sins can die.
The fire spoke in tongues of red, Said “you can’t mourn what’s already dead.” So I just stared through the rising gray, At the man I was yesterday.
’Cause ashes don’t forgive, They just settle where you live. You can scatter ‘em wide, But they still find your side. Ashes don’t forget, They hold what you regret. And every time the wind turns cold, You’ll feel the weight of what you sold.
I found her locket by the creek, Charred and bent, too burned to speak. I tried to pray, but the prayer just broke, On the smoke I couldn’t choke.
The night went still, the stars looked down, Saw a king without a crown. The dust was calm, the silence near, But hell still whispered in my ear.
Mercy’s a flame you can’t relight, Once you’ve traded love for fight. And though I ride, I know full well, Some sins I’ll drag straight through hell.
’Cause ashes don’t forgive, They just mark the lives we live. You can run from what you’ve done, But smoke will chase the setting sun. Ashes don’t forget, They live in every breath. And though I swore I’d never grieve — The ashes still believe.
