Verse 1 I’ve been carrying old stories like stones in my coat, Every promise I broke, every word I never spoke. The past keeps calling softly, like it wants me to stay, But I’m learning how to walk out of the ashes of yesterday. Chorus Ashes of yesterday, blowing out of my hands, I’m letting go of the weight I could never understand. I’m tired of dragging shadows through every step I take, So I’m rising from the embers of the choices I made. Verse 2 I’ve been haunted by the quiet of rooms I left behind, Faces fading in the doorway, ghosts carved into my mind. But the sunrise feels different when you stop looking away, And you finally see the beauty in the ashes of yesterday. Chorus Ashes of yesterday, blowing out of my hands, I’m letting go of the weight I could never understand. I’m tired of dragging shadows through every step I take, So I’m rising from the embers of the choices I made. Bridge Maybe healing isn’t sudden, maybe change is slow, Maybe you don’t need all the answers just to let something go. But I feel a little lighter every time I say— I’m done living in the ashes of yesterday. Verse 3 There’s a clear road ahead where the smoke used to clear, Leaving every cold shadow and every old fear. I’m not running from the fire, I’m just walking away, And I ain't looking back at the ashes of yesterday. Final Chorus Ashes of yesterday, blowing out of my hands, I’m letting go of the weight I could never understand. I’m tired of dragging shadows through every step I take, So I’m rising from the embers of the choices I made. Outro Rising from the embers… Yeah, the fire's gone cold. Ashes of yesterday… drifting far away.
