1.Ashes
Someone told me
What doesn't kill you only
Makes you stronger, sets you free
From all that held you down
With all my heart, I believed
The ember burning
Was a dream deep in me
When everything went up in flames
I still walked away
Turn around and see
What love's done for me
You would not believe
The way I used to be so cold
Maybe love requires
Walking through the fire
To set me free
So I could rise up from the ashes
I was broken
A million pieces left to hold
I was frozen
My heart left out in the cold
Looking back I can see
How the voice of reason
Kept reminding me
I was never good enough somehow
Try and remind me now
Turn around and see
What love's done for me
You would not believe
The way I used to be so cold
Maybe love requires
Walking through the fire
To set me free
So I could rise up from the ashes
Send it up in flames
Let it light the sky
Now that I know pain
I'm more alive
Turn around and see
What love's done for me
You would not believe
The way I used to be so cold
Maybe love requires
Walking through the fire
To set me free
To set me free
To set me free
So I could rise up from the ashes
