Telltale Embers by Nicole AssenzaI used to steal
the spark in your eyes
the look they never thought
youd see for me
now you can lie but I
can still find the ashes
of the part of you
that burned for me
now you can deny it all
as long as I can still smile
my tinderbox smile
and how those embers glow
even if only I know
now you can ask yourself why
and I can tell you
its because
I still got matches, baby
