One day, all our secrets will be spoken

As we slow dance, I became your statue frozen

Underneath this bed of ashes, still withholding
G C B
Everything like we were never close

Don't you worry baby, no sense trying to change it

I’ma strike these matches, never had control

I'ma spread these ashes, never had control

I'm ready, I'm ready, I'm ready to let go
