Sweeping the Ashes

Wish you would have told me

When I was young

When I had space to fill and someone to become

Cause darling I’m beside myself

And I don’t think that you

Know which one of me

You are talking to

I’m tired of trying to make it up to you

Sweeping the ashes and hiding the truth

I’m tired of pretending everything’s all right

Let me feel, let me feel what I’m feeling tonight

Wish you would have warned me

Before today

That you had fallen out

Your love had gone away

Cause darling I’m beside myself

And I don’t think that you

Know which one of me

You are talking to

I’m tired of trying to make it up to you

Sweeping the ashes and hiding the truth

I’m tired of pretending everything’s all right

Let me feel, let me feel what I’m feeling tonight

Wish I could have stopped you

Before you left

It was a lesson you left behind instead

I guess I was beside myself

And didn’t know that you

Knew which one of me

You were talking to

I’m tired of trying to make it up to you

Sweeping the ashes and hiding the truth

I’m tired of pretending everything’s all right

Taking the easy way out every time

I’m tired of trying to make it up to you

Sweeping the ashes and hiding the truth

I’m tired of pretending everything’s all right

Let me feel, let me feel

Let me feel, let me feel

Let me feel, let me feel

What I’m feeling tonight
