Smoke And Ashes Lyrics

I'd heard rumors and I'd heard talk About the trail you'd left of broken

hearts About the sea of tears too wide to cross But a little bad press

has never scared me off So I burned a path to figure out hoe to get me

some of what you got I've got a red hot heart If the talk is true yours

is the same and we should be together And let our passions fan love's

flame When I looked for you I almost passed by you You were so cool and

calm I thought my friends had lied But I thought so much reserve must

make you wild inside It was there and then that I knew I had to get me

some of what you got I've got a red hot heart if the talk is true yours

is the same And we should be together and let our passion fan love's

flame I thought I'd won your heart when I held your hand in mine I

thought it was true love the way we complemented each other But my right

is your wrong and when your right then I'm left with nothingYour light

and your heart have all been spent leaving only smoke and ashes Only

smoke and ashes baby I've got a red hot heart And your heart's as blue

as the blood in your veins I say there's fire down below You say it's

only smoke and ashes baby I'm crying all the time salty stinging tears

and mourning for the past carbon-dated years But knowing now for certain

that you were always right Because if a breeze could blow you out of my

life it's only smoke and ashes baby Only smoke and ashes baby I've got a

red hot heart And your heart's as blue as the blood in your veins I say

there's fire down below  You say it's only smoke and ashes baby I was

blinded by devotion My unwavering love for you So blinded that I thought

all your lies were true But now I know for certain since you've gone

away It was just a smoldering fire I mistook for a blaze Only smoke and

ashes baby I've got a red hot heart And your heart's as blue as the

blood in your veins i say there's a fire down below You say it's only

smoke and ashes baby Only smoke and ashes baby Baby...
