Ashes of an Argument

A careless word, a angry glance
A truth you've held at bay
Like kindling unsuspectingly collected on the way
We put them in a tinder box and hide it underneath our good intentions
In the ashes of an argument
Tears well in her eyes
Lies a spark, a hint of some regret
But you can never go back
It's like a part of you has been removed
And you can only hope
That the hardest part of getting on...is letting go
Heat swells up and magnifies the friction in between
You're the carefully angled match and I'm the gasoline
I promise I will do my best
but I can't hold the fire forever
In the ashes of an argument
Tears well in her eyes
Lies a spark, a hint of some regret
But you can never go back
It's like a part of you has been removed
And you can only hope
That the hardest part of getting on...is letting go
The fire rages on and billows smoke into the sky
The stinging smell of burning things and water in your eyes
We'll burn the lies and burn the fear, we'll burn them till they disappear
We'll leave it all behind, We'll leave it all behind
In the ashes of
In the ashes of...
In the ashes of an argument
Tears well in her eyes
Lies a spark, a hint of some regret
But you can never go back
It's like a part of you has been removed
And you can only hope
That the hardest part of getting on...is letting go
