Ashes

Driving in circles in parking lots
Talking for hours in empty spots
Your memory stains everything
That I loved about sixteen
Making me angry just 'cause you can
Making me think I'll hate every man
Now you live inside this mind that I wish I could scrub clean

Let me forget you
It's the kindest thing you could do
If you really love me
If you're still thinking of me
You could let me go
Let me figure this out alone
'Cause when the car crashes
I will rise from the ashes

Thanks for the trauma you left in my mind
Thank you for making love so hard to find
'Cause who wants to be with someone
Who can't see past a flashback
Thank you for laughing at what you took
Thanks for making me feel dirty with every look
Constantly spinning
The record keeps skipping the same track

Let me forget you
It's the kindest thing you could do
If you really love me
If you're still thinking of me
You could let me go
Let me figure this out alone
'Cause when the car crashes
I will rise from the ashes

I want to forget
I want to be whole
Let me take back
What you stole
'Cause I am not the same
I opened up the vault
And I finally know
It's not my fault

Let me forget you
It's the kindest thing you could do
If you really love me
If you're still thinking of me
You could let me go
Let me figure this out alone
'Cause when the car crashes
I will rise from the ashes
