Three%hero - Ashes to Ashes Lyrics

Another day goes by
And the saying, 'time flies' really doesn't apply
When I'm trying to describe how I haven't slept a damn night
You're damn right I'm sick of this damn life
A minute feels like an hour when it's quarter to four
And you're staring at the ceiling, laying on the floor
I don't wanna feel this anymore
I just wanna feel the way I did before you
Before you
How do I go back to the way that things were before you?
Before you

You left me here
With an unsightly scar
And a shattered heart to remind me
How we've come so far to throw it all away

It's like pouring salt on the wound
Every time I smell the scent of Gap perfume
Cuz it takes me back to a time in your room
Where we would lie, intertwined, till the break of noon and
I loved to watch you sleep, and I
Smell you on the sheets
Oh why does everything good end?
Now every smile that I wear is just pretend

Time tried to heal this, but I keep picking the scab
With every thought of you
Every thought of you

I'm gonna burn down the school
Where we used to go and fog the car windows
I'm gonna burn down the church
Where we used to go, cuz it reminds me of you
Turn this city to ashes
To ashes, we both fell down so hard
But I can't get on my feet again

I can still recall the scene
You and me, too young to care
As we stood on the pavement of the school playground
The moon cast broken shadows of trees
On our vibrant silhouettes
As we danced to the song, 'Here's to the Night"
We couldn't even make it through the first verse
Without stepping on each other's feet
I know that night was four years ago
But I can't forget the feeling or the smell of the air
Cuz that night was never meant to end
And in some ways, I don't think it ever did

I thought I could rely on my trust in you
Cuz I thought I knew you, but I was wrong
Now the odds that I will start a fire
Have increased greatly, now that you're gone

How do I go back to the way that things were before you?

Now that I've burned down the world that we used to know
I still miss you so
I watch the fire burning
Glowing flames remind me of your eyes
And candlelight we shared
I'll pick the scab until it bleeds again tonight
