Valley of Ashes

This is the place where lovers go to die

It's where we're low, while our lover's high

Broken hearts spill in pieces across the road

A graveyard for the lonely souls


Second time you've ignored me for months

I wonder when time will be enough

I try to be patient,

And hope I'll make it


Chorus:

I'm waiting in the valley of ashes

Where what you build always turns to dust

You'll fall no matter how hard you try

And the day is always dusk


I see cars passing through

Can't help but hope one is you

Praying you haven't forgotten me

The sun doesn't rise on this valley


Every day I think of you

And it turns the sky grey and blue

Like a pair of eyes rimmed in gold

You're all I see, my heart can't be sold


Chorus


I hold on, but it turns to ash

I wonder how long I can last

Want to move on, but hope is a bitch

It'll keep me going through all of it
