Ashes Still Glow

[Verse 1] I built a fire out of your lies, Watched the sparks light up my skies. Held my fury like a shield, But anger never really healed. [Verse 2] I screamed your name into the dark, Hoping echoes would leave a mark. But every rage-filled word I threw Still led me back to missing you. [Pre-Chorus] I thought that burning down the past Would free me — but it never lasts. [Chorus] 'Cause ashes still glow, even after the flame, And silence still hurts when there's no one to blame. I’m learning to breathe where I used to break — To feel the heat without the quake. I’m not fine, but I’m not the same — I’m healing the anger without your name. [Verse 3] Forgiveness isn’t what they say, It doesn’t come, it doesn’t stay. But I’ve stopped picking at the wound, Even if it scars too soon. [Pre-Chorus] I hold the pain a little less, Some days I even feel the rest. [Chorus] 'Cause ashes still glow, even after the flame, And sometimes I miss the ache more than your name. I’m learning to speak without shouting shame — To let it burn, but not the same. I’m not whole, but I’ve changed my aim — I’m healing the anger that whispered your name. [Bridge] I needed rage to feel alive, But now I need the space to survive. I still remember, but I don't rewind — There’s peace in leaving you behind. [Final Chorus] Ashes still glow, and maybe they should — Not every fire was misunderstood. But I walk away with open hands, No need to prove, no final stand. I'm not perfect, but I’m okay — I’m healing the anger that stood in my way.
