[Verse 1]
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
[Pre-Chorus 1]
So I'll watch the matches turn to ashes
I'll watch the matches turn to ashes
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
Part by part and inch by inch
You'll have your mile when it's through
Incinerate what's left of this
And torch the part of me that's you
[Pre-Chorus 2]
So I'll watch the matches turn to ashes
[Chorus] [x2]
