Ashes to Ashes lyrics

No matter what you try to say, 

You shoulda treated me a better way

Now I'm finished, thought I'd let you go

You're sayin' nothin' that I want to know

No matter what you try to tell me, 

I'm not listening to you anymore

'Cause pack your bags, I'm settin' you free

Then start walkin' out of the door

[Chorus]

Ashes to ashes and dust to dust

Our love, it died like metal to rust

Ashes to ashes and dust to dust

I've tried and I've tried, but I'm dyin' inside

I've tried and I've tried, but I lost all my pride

I've tried and I've tried, but I lost all my trust

Close the door behind you goin' out

Because you're leavin' now, so have no doubt

It took some time, but finally in the end, 

Your cheatin' ways, they drove me round the bend

The day is here when I put you behind

I'm so tired of listen' to lies

I've learned to put you out of my mind

No holdin' on to our love when it died

[Chorus]

Sit down and write yourself a letter

You know it might make you feel a little better

I won't accept any apology

I'm glad it's over now, I'm happy and free

No matter what you try to tell me, 

I'm not listening to you anymore

'Cause pack your bags, I'm settin' you free

Then start walkin' out of the door

Ashes to ashes and dust to dust

Our love, it died like metal to rust

Ashes to ashes and dust to dust

Our love, it died like metal to rust

Ashes to ashes and dust to dust

Our love, it died like metal to rust

Ashes to ashes and dust to dust
