lyrics

This didn’t used to be an empty room
No more reminders though it feels more like
I’m running out of matches just to keep the spark alive
There’s one left in this matchbook but you are no match of mine

You hate the way I called our house a home
You disagreed for 20 years, there’s just no way
To leave the past behind us as we fall apart
You said that you forgave me with your mind but not your heart

Give me a chance to catch my breath
Take this boulder off my chest
Give me time to right my wrongs
But I always felt you stringing me along
Oh, oh
Don’t leave me alone
Oh, oh

You put the book of matches in my hand
Taken from the shaky ground on which we stand
The beams were catching fire as you left and locked the doors
As your right foot left the threshold I collapsed upon the floor

Give me a chance to catch my breath
Take this boulder off my chest
Give me time to right my wrongs
But I always felt you stringing me along
Oh, oh
Don’t leave me alone
Oh, oh

Give me a chance, I know I'm wrong
Won’t just write another song
Give me time, I'll try my best
Need to work out all these words inside my head
Oh, oh
The things I could've said
Oh, oh
My lips are sealed instead
Oh, oh
The things I could've said
Oh, oh
