Flip The Ashes

FLIP THE ASHES - Written by Carroll Bryant 

I wake up from a restless dream in the middle of the night 

Look what you've done to me

Another fight and I can't sleep

I light up a cigarette 

I try so hard but cannot forget what you mean to me 

Look what you've done to me 

I sit in my chair

There's memories there 

I look around but can't see the pain

I feel it 

Take a hit and flip the ashes 

This summer heat makes me sweat in the middle of the night 

I have regrets, I can't deny 

I try to buy the time it takes to mend a broken heart 

I try because it's all I got and it's all I can do 

It's still tearing me apart

Look what you've done to me 

I sit in my chair

There's memories there 

I look around but can't see the pain

I feel it 

Take a hit and flip the ashes

I scratch my leg and rub my head 

I breathe for life but wish I was dead

How did I become this man?

Can't understand

Take a hit and flip the ashes

What did you want from me?

Was it my heart? Well, you got it for free

I paid the price 

Yes, I covered the cost 

You revel in the victory

I linger in the loss 

All I know is that it ended

Take a hit and flip the ashes 

I sit in my chair

There's memories there 

I look around but can't see the pain

I feel it 

Take a hit and flip the ashes

I get to my feet and crush out my smoke

Go back to my bed and I'm walking real slow

It was all a bad joke

How did I become this man?

Can't understand

Look what you've done to me

I feel it
