Takes

Lyrics

[verse]

They laughed and said my heart would never really burn

Said a love like ours was just a phase, a lesson to learn

Called it nothing more than fog that clears by dawn

Something bound to vanish once the night was gone

[chorus]

But when you left, this heart of mine knew well

Just how real that fire used to swell

Ashes settle soft where something used to shine

Guess they never knew what once was mine

[verse]

Now I sit alone where laughter used to fill the air

And I finally feel the weight of everything that was there

Funny how the ones who doubted love the most

Never felt the fire, never felt the ghost

[chorus]

But when you left, this heart of mine knew well

Just how real that fire used to swell

Ashes settle soft where something used to shine

Guess they never knew what once was mine

[bridge]

Strings are trembling soft around this quiet ache

Everything that mattered was never a mistake

Let them call it smoke, let them call it haze

I'll remember every one of all our days

[chorus]

But when you left, this heart of mine knew well

Just how real that fire used to swell

Ashes settle soft where something used to shine

Guess they never knew what once was mine

## Lyrics
[verse]
They laughed and said my heart would never really burn
Said a love like ours was just a phase, a lesson to learn
Called it nothing more than fog that clears by dawn
Something bound to vanish once the night was gone

[chorus]
But when you left, this heart of mine knew well
Just how real that fire used to swell
Ashes settle soft where something used to shine
Guess they never knew what once was mine

[verse]
Now I sit alone where laughter used to fill the air
And I finally feel the weight of everything that was there
Funny how the ones who doubted love the most
Never felt the fire, never felt the ghost

[chorus]
But when you left, this heart of mine knew well
Just how real that fire used to swell
Ashes settle soft where something used to shine
Guess they never knew what once was mine

[bridge]
Strings are trembling soft around this quiet ache
Everything that mattered was never a mistake
Let them call it smoke, let them call it haze
I'll remember every one of all our days

[chorus]
But when you left, this heart of mine knew well
Just how real that fire used to swell
Ashes settle soft where something used to shine
Guess they never knew what once was mine
