I used to have all of these dreams
Now I'm just trying to sleep
I used to be so unafraid
Thought I could do anything
I used to think that I could lose it all
And I'd just start again
But now I see this mess before me
I don't know where to begin

We watched it all go up in flames
I never thought we'd end this way
But now we're standing in the ashes, ashes

So I've been trying to notice what's going on inside
Am I wrong or right in the dark or the light
They say that nothing burns that wasn't once alive
But when it's said and done still gotta pick a side
And if I knew what I know now that night
Would I still get swallowed up by pride
Cause I'd give anything to make it right

We watched it all go up in flames
I never thought we'd end this way
But now we're standing in the ashes, ashes
