Ashes Can't Talk Back

Say the truth as many times as you like
Say that it was all a misunderstanding
But the higher power needs his angels
Who knew the heavens could so demanding?
I wanna hear you again
But ashes can't talk back

In the ground, you won't find a grave
But in the house, you'll find the soul
Of the one I've loved and lost forever
A piece is missing, I'll never be whole
I wanna hear you again
But ashes can't talk back

I wanna hear you breathe again
I wanna feel your heart beat again
I wanna see you once again
But ashes can't...
I wanna hold you close again
I wanna do it all for you again
I wanna hear you once again
But ashes can't talk back

Swimming through the dark waves
I'm making my way back up the shore
Days go by and I've started searching
To find the love I don't feel anymore
I wanna hear you again
But ashes can't talk back

I wanna hear you breathe again
I wanna feel your heart beat again
I wanna see you once again
But ashes can't...
I wanna hold you close again
I wanna do it all for you again
I wanna hear you once again
But ashes can't talk back

Here and now and for everyday I'm living
I solemnly swear to keep you on my mind
No matter how fast the wheels are turning
I just can't leave your memory behind

I wanna hear you breathe again
I wanna feel your heart beat again
I wanna see you once again
But ashes can't talk back

I wanna hold you close again
I wanna do it all for you again
I wanna hear you once again
But ashes can't talk back
