WE MET AT THE
BROKEN SPOKE
RESTAURANT
AND LOUNGE
I LIT YOUR CIGARETTE
THEN YOU WROTE YOUR
NUMBER DOWN
ON THE INSIDE OF A
MATCH BOOK
THAT WAS LAYIN'
ON THE BAR
AND THE FIRE
STARTED BURNIN'
SOMEWHERE
IN MY HEART
I DIDN'T SEE IT COMIN'
GUESS I DIDN'T
READ 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
AND THERE WAS NOTHIN'
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
AND 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
4 BAR
BREAK
THE COLORS
OLD AND FADED
THE COVERS WORN
AND STAINED
WELL 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
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
YOU TOOK THE BED
YOU TOOK THE DISHES
AND THE CAR
AND YOU BROKE
MY TRUST
AND YOU TOOK
ADVANTAGE
OF MY HEART
AND YOU LEFT ME HERE
WITH EMPTY ROOMS
AND WALLS WITH HOLES
AND SCARS
AND SCRATCHES
NOW I FOUND
THE STRENGTH
TO BURN
YOUR MEMORY DOWN
OH AT LEAST YOU
LEFT THE MATCHES
BABY ALL THAT'S LEFT
OF OUR LOVE NOW
IS ASHES
THANK GOD
YOU LEFT
THE MATCHES
