Piece by piece, and bit by bit
I´ll break this down for you, real slow-
But I can´t whisper all of this
and I can´t seem to let this go,

So I´ll watch the matches, turn to ashes-
I´ll watch the matches, turn to ashes.

I can tell as you turn, I smell the sulfur so clear
and fire´s a beautiful sound-
and the wings that you burn, turn to ashes my dear
and ashes just fall to the ground.
Yeah, we´re only ashes.

Part by part and inch by inch,
You´ll have your mile when its through.
Incinerate what´s left of this
and torch the part of me that´s you,

So I´ll watch the matches, turn to ashes.

I can tell as you turn, I smell the sulfur so clear
and fire´s a beautiful sound-
and the wings that you burn turn to ashes my dear
and ashes just fall to the ground.
Yeah, we´re only ashes.
