Ali Lyrics by Mustafa

When Smoke Rises

2021

[Chorus]
Ali, you know our hearts were at their fullest
Ali, there were no words to stop the bullets

[Verse 1]
Concrete dreams, I could never leave
And I go back to when we were thirteen and fifteen and seventeen
The full night to the coldest breeze
All that we hoped to be
When we smiled with all our teeth

[Chorus]
Ali, you know our hearts were at their fullest
Ali, there werе no words to stop the bullets

[Verse 2]
You should've lеft your home
I told you to go
I told you it wouldn't be safe
I told you it wasn't the way
You should've left your home
I told you to go
I told you it wouldn't be safe
Oh how I prayed and I prayed

[Verse 3]
And since the angel was at your door
I can't walk by anymore
You slipped through my arms
I see you on your sister's shirt
And it's hard to mask the hurt
And it's hard to mask your world

[Chorus]
Ali, you know our hearts were at their fullest
Ali, there were no words to stop the bullets

[Outro]
Now it's only me that needs to save himself
Feel like I can't be here while you're in that realm
Oh I need time
Oh I need time
Oh I need time, to mourn you
Time to mourn you

[Outro: Ali]
Started off as nothing and became something (became something)
No, I don't wanna get pushed around (pushed around)
