Sweeping the Ashes

Serena Ryder

Wish you would have told me
When I was young
When I had space to fill and someone to become

Cause darling I’m beside myself 
And I don’t think that you
Know which one of me 
You are talking to 

I’m tired of trying to make it up to you 
Sweeping the ashes and hiding the truth 

I’m tired of pretending everything’s all right
Let me feel, let me feel what I’m feeling tonight

Wish you would have warned me
Before today
That you had fallen out
Your love had gone away

Cause darling I’m beside myself 
And I don’t think that you
Know which one of me 
You are talking to 

I’m tired of trying to make it up to you 
Sweeping the ashes and hiding the truth 

I’m tired of pretending everything’s all right
Let me feel, let me feel what I’m feeling tonight

Wish I could have stopped you
Before you left
It was a lesson you left behind instead

I guess I was beside myself 
And didn’t know that you
Knew which one of me
You were talking to 

I’m tired of trying to make it up to you 
Sweeping the ashes and hiding the truth 

I’m tired of pretending everything’s all right
Taking the easy way out every time

I’m tired of trying to make it up to you 
Sweeping the ashes and hiding the truth 

I’m tired of pretending everything’s all right
Let me feel, let me feel 
Let me feel, let me feel 
Let me feel, let me feel 
What I’m feeling tonight
