Ashes by Now

[Verse 1]
This morning is Monday, where are you now?
Teasin' my memory, teaching me how
To lay low when I don't want to

[Verse 2]
Your love is elusive, this I know now
It's making me crazy, leaving me out
In the open when I don't want to
I don't know why you do that to me

[Verse 3]
The moments of pleasures never do last
Are gone like a suitcase, full of your past
Long gone and in a hurry

[Chorus]
Baby, I can't go through this again
I don't need to go down more than I've already been
Just like a wild fire, you're running all over town
As much as you burn me, baby, I should be ashes by now

[Verse 4]
The Second Street beggars alone in their life
Drunk on a sidewalk to hide from the night
Like I am, they're just like I am

[Chorus]
Baby, I can't go through this again
I don't need to go down more than I've already been
Just like a wild fire, you're running all over town
And as much as you burn me, baby, I should be ashes by now
Just like a wild fire, you're running all over town
As much as you burn me, baby, I should be ashes by now

[Outro]
I, I-I-I-I
I, I-I-I-I should be ashes by now
I, I-I-I-I
