Verse 1

We’ve been through nights we don’t talk about
Laughed through the pain, figured life out
You saw me at my worst days
Never once walked away

You know when I’m not alright
Even when I say I’m fine
You’ve been solid through the noise
When I didn’t have a choice

Pre-Chorus

I don’t say this enough
But I mean every word
Some people come and go
But you never did

Chorus

I don’t want to lose my best friend
Not to time, not to distance
Life keeps pulling us different ways
I just don’t want this to fade

You’re my brother, not by blood
But you showed up when it mattered most
No matter where this life takes us
Don’t let this fade

Verse 2

We’ve talked about everything
Dreams, regrets, everything in between
You know my history, all my scars
You knew who I was from the start

I know life gets heavy
Jobs, families, responsibilities
But no matter how far we go
I hope you always know

Pre-Chorus

I don’t need constant words
Or to talk every day
I just need to know
This won’t disappear

Chorus

I don’t want to lose my best friend
Not to silence or circumstance
We don’t have to stay the same
I just don’t want us erased

You’re my brother, my backbone
You’re the one who kept me whole
No matter how this world bends
Don’t let this end

Bridge (honest, stripped)

If we drift, I hope we find our way
If time pulls us apart someday
Just know I’m always right here
Same loyalty, same place

Final Chorus (strong, steady)

I don’t want to lose my best friend
You’re part of who I am
Years don’t change what we built
That’s something I’ll defend

Life may change the setting
But not the respect
No matter where we end up
Don’t let this fade

Outro (quiet, sincere)

You’re my brother
Always

Don't Let This Fade

Ashes Apart is an alternative metal / post-grunge project built on real emotion, real experiences, and original lyrics. Every song begins as a personal story — heartbreak, loss, anger, and survival — written from lived moments, not fiction.

The lyrics are written entirely by Ashes Apart and then brought to life using modern AI music tools as a creative instrument. AI is used as a collaborator for sound and production, while the emotion, words, and meaning remain human and personal.

Ashes Apart exists to turn pain into something tangible — heavy when it needs to hit, quiet when it needs to hurt, and always honest.
