Below, you will find the lyrics for Ashley by Halsey.
Verse 1
Standing now, in the mirror that i built myself
And i can't remember why the decision wasn't mine
But it seems i'm only clingin' to an idea now
Took my heart and sold it out to a vision that i wrote myself
And i don't wanna be somebody in america just fighting the hysteria
I only wanna die some days
Chorus 1
Someday, someday, when i burst into flames
I'll leave you the dust, my love
Hope a bit of it'll be enough to help remember the
Days when we came to this place
I told you i'd spill my guts, i left you to clean it up
I'm bursting out of the
Verse 2
Seems like now it's impossible to work this out
I'm so committed to an old ghost town
Is it really that strange if i always wanna change?
And if only the time and space between us wasn't lonely
I'd disintegrate into a thousand pieces
Think i'm makin' a mistake, but if i decide to break
Who will fill the empty space? so
Chorus 2
Now, if i figure this out
Apart from my beating heart
It's a muscle, but it's still not strong enough to carry the
Weight of the choices i've made
I told you i'd ride this out
It's gettin' harder every day
Somehow, i'm burstin' out of myself
Outro
Too many guys think i'm a concept, or
I complete them, or i'm gonna make them alive
I'm just a fucked up girl who's lookin' for my own peace of mind
Don't assign me yours
