Gasoline & Matches

I regret the letters, sent the poems, wrote those sober notes

The flights I bought from coast to coast, the codependent overdose

I opened up my heart to you, I rearranged my future

I used to find it funny, but I've seen the loss, my humor

I regret the time we spent, the promises you never kept

The inconsistent sympathy, the overwhelming ignorance

I opened up my home to you

You had my mother's heart

And now she keeps on asking

Why I tore you both apart

And I burn it all

Gasoline and matches

Our photographs in ashes

And I blame it all

On what I thought was magic

Through rose-colored glasses

Anything I can, I'll throw it all away

But all that remains

Are the memories we made

And I wish I could take you back the hours spent in planes and cabs

The dollars that I should've saved

Instead I gave you all I had

Just never about that money though, your cash will come and go

But now my pocket's empty and my heart is feeling broke

And I burn it all

Gasoline and matches

Our photographs in ashes

And I blame it all

On what I thought was magic

Through rose-colored glasses

Anything I can, I throw it all away

But all that remains

Are the memories we made

All the memories we made

It's my fault, my own damn problem

I thought I was worth her loving

Caught off guard, she second guessed it

Now I live to just forget

It's my fault, my own damn problem

I thought I was worth her loving

Caught off guard, she second guessed it

Now I live to just forget it

I burn it all

Gasoline and matches

Our photographs and ashes

And I blame it all

On what I thought was magic

Through rose-colored glasses

Anything I can, I throw it all away

But all that remains

Are the memories we made

All the memories we made
