**OUT OF THE ASHES** **Verse 1** We were burning like a fire on the edge of town, Two reckless hearts that no one could hold down. But every promise disappeared into the smoke, And I was left among the dreams we broke. **Chorus** Out of the ashes, I still call your name, Through the thunder and the pouring rain. I gave you everything I had to give, You were the reason I believed I could live. Now I’m standing where our kingdom fell, With a heart full of heaven and hands full of hell. If loving you was a fight I couldn’t win, I’d take the fall and do it all again. **Verse 2** Your photograph is lying face down by the bed, But I still hear the last words that you said. You told me love was never meant to last, But I can’t leave the best of us back in the past. **Chorus** Out of the ashes, I still call your name, Through the thunder and the pouring rain. I gave you everything I had to give, You were the reason I believed I could live. Now I’m standing where our kingdom fell, With a heart full of heaven and hands full of hell. If loving you was a fight I couldn’t win, I’d take the fall and do it all again. **Verse 3** Maybe time will teach this wounded heart to heal, Maybe someday your touch won’t feel so real. But if you came back through that door tonight, I know I’d run into your arms without a fight. **Final Chorus** Out of the ashes, I still call your name, Through the thunder and the pouring rain. I’d give you everything I have to give, You’ll always be the reason that I live. Though I’m standing where our kingdom fell, I’d walk once more through every kind of hell. If loving you was a fight I couldn’t win, I’d take the fall and do it all again— Yes, I’d do it all again.
