Watch: New Singing Lesson Videos Can Make Anyone A Great Singer
We met at the broken spoke restaurant and lounge I lit your cigarette and then 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 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 nothing but a worn out book of matches on the floor You took the bed You took the dishes and the car You broke my trust You took advantage of my heart You left me here With empty rooms and walls with holes and scars and scratches If I find the strength to burn you memories 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 striking them to help me to forget And everybody at the broken spoke All thought my crazy story was a joke Now they're out there in the parking lot Staring at the smoke You took the bed You took the dishes and the car You broke my trust You took advantage of my heart You left me here With empty rooms and walls with holes and scars and scratches And the hurt I need to burn those memories down At least you left the matches Baby all that's left of our love now is ashes Thank God you left the matches
