“Ashes and Roses” is a melancholic reflection on love lost to time, like a fire that once burned bright but left only smoke and fading petals behind. Inspired by the duality of beauty and decay, passion and heartbreak, the song captures the haunting memories of a love that lingers like a ghost—soft, bittersweet, and impossible to grasp. Some flames aren’t meant to last, and some roses wilt too soon… but their essence remains in the ashes.

Ashes and Roses

(Verse 1)
There were whispers in the wind that night,
Soft as silk, yet laced with spite.
You held my hand, you swore you’d stay,
But love like ours just fades away.

(Pre-Chorus)
Smoke and petals on the floor,
You don’t haunt this house no more.
But every breath, I taste the past,
Like dying embers meant to last.

(Chorus)
Ashes and roses, love turned to dust,
Fragile and fading, crumbling to rust.
Your touch still lingers, a ghost on my skin,
But ashes and roses won’t bloom again.

(Verse 2)
Your name’s a shadow on my tongue,
A melody left unsung.
Echoes calling through the rain,
Soft reminders wrapped in pain.

(Pre-Chorus)
Smoke and petals on the floor,
You don’t haunt this house no more.
But every breath, I taste the past,
Like dying embers meant to last.

(Chorus)
Ashes and roses, love turned to dust,
Fragile and fading, crumbling to rust.
Your touch still lingers, a ghost on my skin,
But ashes and roses won’t bloom again.

(Bridge)
Did we burn too bright? Did we fall too fast?
Was our love a flame never meant to last?
Now I’m standing here in the cold,
With nothing left but stories untold.

(Final Chorus)
Ashes and roses, love turned to dust,
Fragile and fading, crumbling to rust.
Your touch still lingers, a ghost on my skin,
But ashes and roses won’t bloom again.

(Outro – whispered vocals)
Won’t bloom again… won’t bloom again…
