Verse;
We met at the Broken Spoke restaurant and lounge
I lit your cigarette and you wrote your number down
On the inside of a matchbook that was laying on the bar
And a fire started burning somewhere in my heart
I didn't see it coming, guess I didn't see the signs
I just never thought you'd leave me after all this time
But today when I came home my key was hollow in the door
There was nothing but a worn out book of matches on the
floor
You took the bed, you took the dishes and the car
And you broke my trust, you took advantage of my heart
And you left me here with empty rooms and walls with
holes, scars and scratches
If I find the strength to burn your memory down, at least
you left the matches
Verse;
The colors old and faded, the covers worn and stained
But I can still make out the numbers and the heart beside
your name
Until tonight they'd only lit a single cigarette
Now one by one I'm striking them to help me to forget
Bridge;
And everybody at the Broken Spoke
They all thought my crazy story was a joke
Now they're all out in the parking lot staring at the smoke
Chorus;
Baby all that's left of our love now is ashes
Thank god you left the matches
End
