Lyrics A Thousand Matches

verse 1
Lying on the mattress 'cos my friend's crazy sister took my bed away
Sleeping she looked like an actress, in theory and in practice, I said
"There's got to be a better way"
She said "You light a thousand matches when you finally set fire while you
run away
So why'd you go and do it when you knew that you would go and I would stay
I hit the wall in frustration - the conversation had been circling for days
verse 2
She handed me a stone in the perfect shape of a heart
