Matches

In the style of

Sammy Kershaw

Lyrics

we met at
the broken spoke
restaurant
and lounge
i lit your cigarette
then you wrote
your number down

on the inside
of a matchbook
that was layin'
on the bar
and a 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

the color's
old and faded
the cover's
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
strikin' 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 parkin' lot
starin' 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've 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
