lyrics

Lyrics by Bonnie Whitmore Startlet&Dog SESAC

We use to burn like fire
Burning hot and blue
We'd use to stay out of every night
Dance the whole night through
Now you say your with your friends
Heaven knows what you do
But darlin what left of me and you?

Now you can see where this is going
There's no need to pretend
Cause all that shows is the boredom
With your lips upon my skin
But like the Preacher done said
Till death do you part
Ya gonna have to pay for my broken heart

You say "Baby, don't blame me
You know I love only you"
But I say "Baby you betray me"
Embers to ashes is all that's left
Oh lord, it's all that's left

I tracked you to the south side
Bend to strike a match
I watch the fire growing
While lying with your tramp
Well you better start to prayin
Repent for what cha've done
Cause even Jesus won't be savin none,
From the wrath I'm bringing on

Now I say “Baby, don't blame me
You know I love only you.
But now Baby, you betrayed me
Embers to ashes is all that's left
Lord now Embers and ashes is all that left”
