ashes of a burning heart

I remember when you said you wanted kids with me
Now all I got's a picture and our memories
Didn't think that I'd be left with so much misery
And that the present of you would become history

Sometimes I sit up at night and wait for your text
Used to say you loved my smile, but when I put that to the test
You left me lonely and broken, I guess that's for the best
Even after you told me you'd never treat me like the rest of them

I guess you got the best of me
Maybe a broken heart was just my destiny
I can still feel all the warmth of you right next to me
Which makes me wonder, cause at this point, you been dead to me

All you ever were was a demon
And I wonder why kept screaming
You left me in a dark place needing
Some way that I could find meaning

All you ever were was a demon
And I wonder why kept screaming
You left me in a dark place needing
Some way that I could find meaning

You weren't a blessing, but a lesson in disguise
I was hungry for affection and you fed me with your lies
I miss your touch and that expression in your eyes
Even though I know now, that's not that person that's inside

I'd love to find a person that I could confide in
Someone with a heart of gold, won't scold me when we're fighting
Fairytales don't reflect real life
If that's true then why were you so perfect in my eyes

Broken and on my own
Don't know how to cope
Cause I remember darker nights contemplating the rope

And it's one for the demon girl
Two pieces of my heart
I'm searching for reason still
I question where to start

All you ever were was a demon
And I wonder why kept screaming
You left me in a dark place needing
Some way that I could find meaning

All you ever were was a demon
And I wonder why kept screaming
You left me in a dark place needing
Some way that I could find meaning

I was a kid when I met you
Fifteen-years old I wasn't ready
Cause now I carry this uncertainty in a bag over my shoulder
And I've tried to rid my mind of your grasp, but it's heavy

And I, question myself
Maybe it's all in my head
But that's exactly what you wanted was for me to be fed
Quenching my thirst with soft lies and false lullabies
You nullified my feelings and you left me with these sullen eyes
I'd say I'll see you in the afterlife, but you'll be on the other side

All you ever were was a demon
And I wonder why kept screaming
You left me in a dark place needing
Some way that I could find meaning

All you ever were was a demon
And I wonder why kept screaming
You left me in a dark place needing
Some way that I could find meaning
