[Crowd Noise] (five seconds — crowd settles) [Spoken Intro — Female Vocal — Wren] (quiet, serious) This next song...... (pause) ......was written by the man whose life this whole album is built from. (pause) He wrote it. He lived it. And tonight he's singing it with us. (pause) Ladies and gentlemen...... Jhöl Unger. (crowd erupts) [Live Performance] [Verse 1] (lyrics as written) [Verse 1] You said "It's not what it looks like" Your keys still warm in his car My hands shook over the porch light Your jacket on the wrong arm I learned how silence can blister How teeth can break on your lie You kissed my forehead so gentle I went to throw up outside [Chorus] Now every road we walked is burning Ashes on your name I don't even want your sorry You can keep your shame I took your letters Every promise Fed them to a flame Watched our future curling black Ashes on your name [Verse 2] I drove past your favorite diner Saw you laugh in our old booth You didn't see me in the mirror My eyes nailed into the truth I called your mama on Sunday Said "He's doing just fine" She heard the crack in my greeting I let her read between lines [Chorus] Now every road we walked is burning Ashes on your name I don't even want your sorry You can keep your shame I took your pictures off the fridge Dropped them in the rain Let the colors bleed and run Ashes on your name [Bridge] I won't scream I won't curse That would make this hurt look small I'll just let the quiet work Let your lies hit every wall When they ask why I'm not with you I won't have to say a word Just a slow Long look Then laughter Let the story get worse [Chorus] Now every road we walked is burning Ashes on your name I don't even want your sorry You can keep your shame I carved my heart out of your story Cut you from the frame Walked away and left you standing In ashes On your name
