Broken Ashtray Lyrics

I see you smoking my
Last cigarette
From across the room
I look down on you
You're the one thing I regret

I see you dancing in
Your little way
My heart, rip it out
It's all yours now
I never used it anyway

Arson,
You're burning me with lies
You're condescending
I can see it in your eyes

Arson,
Now you're burning me twice
Arson,
You broken ashtray

I see you smoking
Someone else's cigarette
From across the room
You're down on me too
I'm the one thing you regret

I see you laughing in
Your little way
My heart, rip it out
It's all yours now
I never used it anyway

Arson,
You're burning me with lies
You're condescending
I can see it in your eyes

Arson,
Now you're burning me twice
Arson,
You broken ashtray

I see you smoking my
Last cigarette
From across the room
I look down on you
You're the one thing I regret

I see you dancing in
Your little way
My heart, rip it out
It's all yours now
I never used it anyway

Arson,
You're burning me with lies
You're condescending
I can see it in your eyes

Arson,
Now you're burning me twice
Arson

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
