Ashtray Romance

I place the lid on the lit candle

How fast the flame goes out

When you act indifferent

I quickly fill up with doubt

I put out my lit cigarette

We were once aflame

I thought my fate I met

But it was all a game

Sun has set on naive dreams

Dusk wraps its arms around me

Even love’s not what it seems

This is how we’re bound to be

All the lights are out in my house

Doors are locked, blinds drawn

I’d’ve let you in, but you were out

Foolishly I’d still see you later on

For you I was a reserve ablaze

I was a me I never before knew

I lived ignoring the day to day

Would’ve done anything for you

But I knew, wish I didn’t, I knew

You’d never do things I’d do for you

In giving you my all, I was a fool

Love is a joke, never felt more true
