Today I burned the cutting board
I built in ’91
Up in smoke went the memories
Like everything I’ve ever done
On the back the words I’d written
Went up with the flames
When you give your heart away
Remember nothing stays the same
It was made with love in ’91
With time and wood and glue
With my own two hands, I saw it done
I couldn’t wait to give it to you
It hurts so much to think of it
Of all the work and time I put in it
To discard it like it never meant
a damn thing to you
The piece of wood was like my love
It was straight and strong and true
to be replaced by someone else
Now that was just like you
I tossed it in the fire
And watched the ashes grow
Remembered the good, forgot the rest
Just like when you’re old
And now it’s gone, just like our love
It’s a memory etched in time
Something you’d just like to forget
Like a verse without rhyme
But I guess now, I’m apart of you
And you’re apart of me
But as time takes its toll
You’re just a faded memory
