Ashes (Say What You Mean)
Can't run away on a one-way train
Make the wrong decision that's a ticket to pain
Same cause for drought and the reason for the rain
Stayin' on this path may not be sane
Say what you mean, will you be straight with me
Please don't try to spare my feelings, 'cause it's only causing grief
Ashes under feet, all that's left of me
I just might be gambling, woman, that's just not the move
Say what you mean, will you be straight with me
I can't be gambling, woman, that can't be the move
Main thing that you need to understand
Always say what I mean if I can
All I ask is that you pay me the same respect
We may not be perfect, but we can
Do our best to remain each other's fans
Sometimes you gotta compromise to meet demands
Gotta know you wanna be there if we got plans
Holdin' me hostage while we hold hands
She could be full of it, full of shit
I ain't got the time to politic all of it
I'm on top of this talkin' shit, connection poppin'
Can't stop or demolish it, well, yeah
I'm prepared to risk all of it, on a bitch
Honestly I won't polish it, I'll admit I considered a minute whether it was all legitimate
Or if I misinterpreted messages and signals and shit
I don't know
She was just a mystery to me
Don't try to spare my feelings
It's only causing grief
Now all that's left of me
Are ashes under feet
Don't try to spare my feelings
It's only causing grief
Now all that's left of me
Are ashes under feet
Say what you mean, will you be straight with me
Didn't want to bet it all, that's the way it had to be
Set me on fire, then just leave me be
I might just burn brighter when you leave
So why don't you flick your lighter and let's see
Make the wrong decision that's a ticket to pain
Same cause for drought and the reason for the rain
Stayin' on this path may not be sane
Say what you mean, will you be straight with me
Please don't try to spare my feelings, 'cause it's only causing grief
Ashes under feet, all that's left of me
I just might be gambling, woman, that's just not the move
Say what you mean, will you be straight with me
I can't be gambling, woman, that can't be the move
Main thing that you need to understand
Always say what I mean if I can
All I ask is that you pay me the same respect
We may not be perfect, but we can
Do our best to remain each other's fans
Sometimes you gotta compromise to meet demands
Gotta know you wanna be there if we got plans
Holdin' me hostage while we hold hands

Now all that's left of me

Don't try to spare my feelings
It's only causing grief
Now all that's left of me
Are ashes under feet
Say what you mean, will you be straight with me

I might just burn brighter when you leave
So why don't you flick your lighter and let's see
