Ashes

Someone told me

What doesn't kill you only

Makes you stronger, sets you free

From all that held you down

With all my heart, I believed

The ember burning

Was a dream deep in me

When everything went up in flames

I still walked away

Turn around and see what love's done for me

You would not believe the way I used to be, so cold

Maybe love requires walking through the fire

To set me free, so I could rise up from the ashes

I was broken

A million pieces left to hold

I was frozen

My heart left out in the cold

Looking back I can see

How the voice of reason

Kept reminding me

I was never good enough somehow

Try and remind me now

Turn around and see what love's done for me

You would not believe the way I used to be, so cold

Maybe love requires walking through the fire

To set me free, so I could rise up from the ashes

Send it up in flames

Let it light the sky

Now that I know pain...I'm more alive

I'm more alive

Turn around and see what love's done for me

You would not believe the way I used to be, so cold

Maybe love requires walking through the fire

To set me free, so I could rise up from the ashes
