Ashes to Diamonds

by Jessica Wolff

on Renegade (2013)

[Verse 1]
A false charade
I didn't choose to be this way
I ignored the truth
In hope that I'd avoid the pain

[Pre-Chorus]
But then I changed my face and I moved away
But my mother said I'd "lost my way"
But in an empty heart, nothing is okay

[Chorus]
Watch me burn (yeah, yeah)
My heart is on fire
A violent desire
Watch me burn (yeah, yeah)
From ashes to diamonds
I'm healing in silence

[Post-Chorus]
Watch me, I'm burnin'
I'm tossin', I'm turnin'
My heart is on fire
A violent desire
Watch me, I'm burnin'
My heart is returnin'
From ashes to diamonds
I'm healing in silence

[Verse 2]
I crossed the line
No matter what they say, I tried
I felt the truth (felt the truth)
I thought that it would bring me down (bring me down)

[Pre-Chorus]
But then I turned around and I caught the flames
I saw myself, I felt the pain
'Cause in a frozen heart, nothing is okay

[Chorus]
Watch me burn (yeah, yeah)
My heart is on fire
A violent desire
Watch me burn (yeah, yeah)
From ashes to diamonds
I'm healing in silence

[Bridge]
The ice slowly melting apart
The wounds turn to scars
A Phoenix on fire, I fly
From ashes to diamonds
I'm learning to love
Learning to love

[Refrain]
A false charade
I didn't choose to be this way

[Chorus]
Burn (watch me burn) (yeah, yeah)
My heart is on fire (heart is on fire)
A violent desire
Watch me burn (watch me burn) (yeah, yeah)
From ashes to diamonds
I'm healing in silence

[Post-Chorus]
Watch me, I'm burnin'
I'm tossin', I'm turnin'
My heart is on fire
A violent desire (a violent desire)
Watch me, I'm burnin' (watch me burn)
My heart is returnin'
From ashes to diamonds
I'm healing in silence

[Outro]
Burn (watch me burn)
(burn, turn, fire)
(watch me burn)
(burn, turn, fire)
(ashes to diamonds)
(I'm healing in silence)
