Verse 1

You said I made you feel beautiful
Like you finally saw yourself
You said I made you feel love
For the first time, for real

You said you didn’t wanna lose it
You said it scared you to death
But somewhere along the way
You forgot what you felt

Pre-Chorus

You said forever felt too real
Before you even knew what you wanted

Chorus

You said I made you feel beautiful
You said I changed your life
You said I made you feel love
Then you let it die

You didn’t lose it because of me
You lost it ‘cause you didn’t know
What you wanted, what you needed
So you let us go

Verse 2

You made me wanna start a family
Made it feel possible, right
I saw a future in your eyes
Something worth my whole life

But you burned that dream for both of us
Watched it fall apart
Now I’m sitting here alone
With your name on my heart

Pre-Chorus 2

You walked away without a reason
Without a sound or trace
Like love was something temporary
You could just erase

Chorus

You said I made you feel beautiful
You said you didn’t wanna lose it
But you left without looking back
Like you never knew it

You didn’t lose love in the end
You chose confusion instead
And I’m left here holding on
To everything you said

Bridge (quiet, devastating)

Now I sit at home alone
Thinking ’bout the past
Thinking ’bout what could’ve been
If you tried to last

I hate that I picture you with someone else
It tears me apart inside
Because I still wanna be with you
Every single day of my life

Final Chorus (bigger, emotional release)

You said I made you feel beautiful
You said I showed you love
But when it came time to choose
You didn’t choose us

You say you don’t know what you want
So you disappeared instead
I’m still here with the memories
And the future in my head

Outro (soft, fading)

Do you ever think of me
Like I think of you every day

What Could Have Been

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.
