Cold moon over empty streets
I walk alone with tired feet
Ash on leather dust on skin
I tell myself I will not quit
I learned love can cut like wire
Sweet at first then turns to fire
Promises with pretty eyes
Turned to smoke and alibis
I gave my trust I paid the cost
Woke up counting what I lost
Still I stood still I moved
Still I chased what felt like truth
Hear my heartbeat under steel
I don’t break I only heal
Every scar becomes a sign
I’m still walking through the night
Ashes on my boots but I’m standing
I’ve been burned but I’m still landing
No more lies can pull me under
I won’t drown in broken thunder
Ashes on my boots but I’m rising
Through the dark I keep on fighting
If love is real it will find me
And when it does it won’t deny me
Fights like storms in narrow rooms
Truth replaced by cheap perfume
Hands that swore they’d never leave
Left me drowning in the grief
I saw shadows in the glass
Heard my name in words that passed
But I kept my wheel straight on
I kept moving I stayed strong
Hear my heartbeat under steel
I don’t break I only heal
Every scar becomes a sign
I’m still walking through the night
Ashes on my boots but I’m standing
I’ve been burned but I’m still landing
No more lies can pull me under
I won’t drown in broken thunder
Ashes on my boots but I’m rising
Through the dark I keep on fighting
If love is real it will find me
And when it does it won’t deny me
Maybe I’m not flawless maybe I’m hard to hold
But I won’t trade my heart for a story bought and sold
One day a single look will calm this restless storm
And I will know at last what love was meant to be for
Ashes on my boots but I’m standing
I’ve been burned but I’m still landing
No more lies can pull me under
I won’t drown in broken thunder
Ashes on my boots now I’m rising
Through the dark I keep on fighting
If love is real it will find me
And when it does it will remind me
Ashes on my boots
Still I move
