I've been drinkin' whisky; rockin' on this porch
Got a box full of matches; each one's a little torch
Siftin' thru our pictures, like to burn'em everyone
Been tossin' out your clothes, why this is so much fun
I could start a fire, like the one you lit in me
But matches don't burn memories, why can't I let it be?
Gotta a pocket full of pills, could they set me free?
Can't know how I feel, all this pain and misery
Believed you when you told me, how our love would always last
Seems like it's been years; yet only one has past
You know my heart is burnin', can I relight this flame?
Matches don't burn memories; won't you take me back again?
The flames are burnin' brighter, the ashes float away
Matches don't burn memories
So in my mind...in my mind you'll stay
Can I live another day believing I'm the one to blame?
Teardrops soak the matchbox as I strike the final flame
Too late to reconsider, too sad to live in pain?
Matches might burn memories, please take me back again?
I wonder if you'd care, should I fall so down,
That you would find my ashes, in our house burnt to the ground?
Matches...don't burn memories, memories...fade away
Matches...don't burn memories, ashes...float away
Matches...don't burn memories, memories...fade away
Matches...don't burn memories, ashes...float away
