Ashes Lyrics by Diplo & Bailey Zimmerman
[Intro]
Ooh-ooh-ooh
[Verse 1]
You've been out in Hollywood tryna make it as an actress
Actin' into him 'til your back is on the mattress
And there ain't nothin' wrong with it, everybody's got a habit
Got both of us to blame, baby, both of us are batshit
Doin' bad shit, the fact is
[Chorus]
We're just an old flame, burnin' at both ends
Sour mash barrel, baby, when the match hits
Only thing I don't know is how the hell we ain't ashes
You burn me, I burn you
Quicker than the cold liquor we burn through
I bet the damn devil himself is askin'
How the hell we ain't ashes
[Verse 2]
I'm 'bout to touchdown and I heard you're out in Dallas
So tell me where you're at, baby, we don't need no practice
Yeah, we got some baggage but I ain't mad at it
'Cause you ain't stayin' long enough for us to unpack it
[Chorus]
We're just an old flame, burnin' at both ends
Sour mash barrel, baby, when the match hits
Only thing I don't know is how the hell we ain't ashes
You burn me, I burn you
Quicker than the cold liquor we burn through
I bet the damn devil himself is askin'
How the hell we ain't ashes
[Post-Chorus]
No, we ain't, no, we ain't, no, we ain't
We ain't ashes
No, we ain't, no, we ain't, no, we ain't
We ain't ashes
[Bridge]
You've been out in Hollywood tryna make it as an actress
Actin' into him 'til your back is on the mattress
[Chorus]
'Cause we're just an old flame, burnin' at both ends
Sour mash barrel, baby, when the match hits
Only thing I don't know is how the hell we ain't ashes
You burn me, I burn you
Quicker than the cold liquor we burn through
I bet the damn devil himself is askin'
How the hell we ain't ashes
[Post-Chorus]
No, we ain't, no, we ain't, no, we ain't
We ain't ashes
No, we ain't, no, we ain't, no, we ain't
We ain't ashes
