I still remember nights on your couch
When nothing was going on but you and me
But we had you and me
In the darkness in the silence, we had you and me

And the way you’d look at me
No one read your eyes like I could
I could always see
What you were thinking
Except I never saw
This coming

When your new spark dies
I don’t know if I’ll be here
After all I’m just the ash
Of the fire we once were
I would love to say I’m waiting
But I don’t know if I could
It’s hard to live with these memories
But it would be harder to relive them

I remember the feel of your lips
Late at night in my old car
Saying goodnight always took so long
We kept the words from coming out

But I misread your kiss
Thought it said you wouldn’t leave me
Stranded like this
But I guess I read you wrong
“We” weren’t the open book
I thought it once was

When your new spark dies
I don’t know if I’ll be here
After all I’m just the ash
Of the fire we once were
I would love to say I’m waiting
But I don’t know if I could
It’s hard to live with these memories
But it would be harder to relive them

If you give me a call
I can’t say I will pick up
Because after all
I can’t say I won’t have moved on
I love what we had
But now that’s all we are
Through all of this at least I got
A gorgeous memory
