Lyrics
Why am I always the last to know?
Livin' on the ashes of your ghost
I was trying
But these bloody fingers are begging to be white
If love was a whore, then you were it's pride
And I'm screamin' in the night
But all of my words get lost in Ashley's tide
Where were all the lovers when you died?
And tell me why your mother never cried
She was certain
That you had something to tell me from the grave
But all that she heard was the love that you craved
And I'm screamin' in the night
But all of my words get lost in Ashley's tide
Touch my heart tonight
Whisper by the candlelight
Ashley lost her way
I can live but I'll never be the same
I don't wanna wonder where you are
Looking for a hole inside your heart
Are you safe now?
Cause I can't keep dreaming that maybe you're alright
Maybe you laughed or maybe you cried
And I'm screamin' in the night
But all of my words get lost in Ashley's tide
