margo price - burn whatever's left lyrics

[verse 1]
i wouldn’t go back even if i could
there’s a cemetery where a tree once stood
look too hard, be careful what you find
i know my fate in the back of my mind
i went to see a mystic but i already heard
the end is near, better use your words
she made me tea and i acted so surprised
she read my palm, i read her eyes

[chorus]
strike a match and start again
my memory is my only friend
build me a house of old memories i kept
and then burn whatever’s left

[verse 2]
i carry my pain across the long high wire
‘bove the city of death and the lake of fire
it’s never quite as bad as it seems
sometimes it’s worse in a waking dream
don’t wake me up, don’t make a sound
in my sleep, i’m falling down
i’m somewhere else, it’s a different time
in the ancient hills, a church bell chimes
[verse 3]
make me believe in magic again
i wrote the book so i know how it ends
so many pages i can’t forget
tear them out and burn whatever’s left
spanish moss hangin’ from the trees
holy city, talk to me
i left my body, i left this world
my spirit untethered, my hair unfurled

[chorus]
strike a match and start again
my memory is my only friend
build me a house of old memories i kept
and then burn whatever’s left
then burn whatever’s left
