[Verse 1] I woke up late with a bruise on my name Mud on my cuff and the same old ache Your note on the sink said, "don’t make a scene" So I bit my tongue till it tasted like tin [Pre-Chorus] And I’m pacing the kitchen tiles Counting cracks in the floor You got that look in your eyes Like you already closed the door [Chorus] Ashes in my shoes Ashes in my shoes I keep on walking through Ashes in my shoes [Verse 2] Your red coat hangs on the back of the chair Cold little witness to what wasn’t there I tried to laugh, but it came out thin Like a screen door rattling in the wind [Pre-Chorus] And I’m pacing the kitchen tiles Counting cracks in the floor You got that look in your eyes Like you already closed the door [Chorus] Ashes in my shoes Ashes in my shoes I keep on walking through Ashes in my shoes [Bridge] Say it plain Was I ever your home? Say it plain Or just a place you roamed? [Chorus] Ashes in my shoes Ashes in my shoes I keep on walking through Ashes in my shoes
