Ashes
Sitting here staring at
All of your used up cigarettes
I should probably throw that ash tray out
I still don't understand
How the both of us just let
The flame we had die down
We say we're okay
Doesn't every fire burn out anyway
Yeah we both walked away
Better as friends, but at least our hearts are safe
I wonder how we went from striking matches
To cleaning up the ashes
Visions of you and I
Still burn in the back of my mind
Over and over again
I'll spend tonight at home
Lighting one up all alone
'Cause it tastes just like your lips
We say we're okay
Doesn't every fire burn out anyway
Yeah we both walked away
Better as friends, but at least our hearts are safe
I wonder how we went from striking matches
To cleaning up the ashes
Oh, mm, mm
We say we're okay
Doesn't every fire burn out anyway
Yeah we both walked away
Better as friends, but at least our hearts are safe
I wonder how we went from striking matches
From a love so hot with just one touch it catches
To cleaning up the ashes
Mm, mm
All of your used up cigarettes
I should probably throw that ash tray out
I still don't understand
How the both of us just let
The flame we had die down
We say we're okay
Doesn't every fire burn out anyway
Yeah we both walked away
Better as friends, but at least our hearts are safe
I wonder how we went from striking matches
To cleaning up the ashes
Visions of you and I
Still burn in the back of my mind
Over and over again
I'll spend tonight at home
Lighting one up all alone
'Cause it tastes just like your lips
We say we're okay
Doesn't every fire burn out anyway
Yeah we both walked away
Better as friends, but at least our hearts are safe
I wonder how we went from striking matches
To cleaning up the ashes
Oh, mm, mm
We say we're okay
Doesn't every fire burn out anyway
Yeah we both walked away
Better as friends, but at least our hearts are safe
I wonder how we went from striking matches
From a love so hot with just one touch it catches
To cleaning up the ashes
Mm, mm
