Ashes in the Air

We used to laugh 'til the sky turned pink
Sneaking out, chasing dreams on the brink
You were the fire, wild and free
Now I light candles where you used to be

I saw the signs, but I looked away
Thought you'd be fine, just a phase, you'd say
But pills don’t care who they take
And now I’m wide awake

You're ashes in the air, not glitter on my skin
A ghost in every mirror, a silence deep within
I scream your name in songs, but you don’t sing along
This isn’t how our story should’ve gone
So if you're listening, please hear me clear
Drugs don’t love you—they disappear

Your hoodie still hangs on my door
I wear it when I miss you more
Your laugh plays in my head like a track
But I can't rewind and bring you back

You said, “I’m just tired, I need to feel numb”
But numb turned to never waking up
I wish I fought harder, wish I’d screamed
Wish I could rewrite every scene

You're ashes in the air, not glitter on my skin
A ghost in every mirror, a silence deep within
I scream your name in songs, but you don’t sing along
This isn’t how our story should’ve gone
So if you're listening, please hear me clear
Drugs don’t love you—they disappear
And I’m still here, broken but sincere
Begging every teen: don’t disappear
