Got dressed up like you might still care
New heels, old perfume in the air
The candles burn, the table's set
But I keep forgetting you already left
The cork popped soft like a goodbye sigh
The bubbles rose, and so did I
But I ashed my cigarette in the wrong glass again
Now it tastes like you-and bitter sin
Ashes in my champagne
That's how I drink you down
A toast to all your almosts
In this rhinestone ghost town
It sparkled, it fizzed, it died in my hand
And I smiled like a fool who still don't understand
The silence sits where you used to speak
The silence hums in a minor key
I poured one out for the girl I was then
She's gone now-won't be back again
Ashes in my champagne
Still waiting on a spark
But the only thing that flickers
Is this godforsaken heart
It sparkled, it fizzed, it died in my hand
And I laughed like a girl who don't give a damn
You said love was a toast
So I raised my glass
But you drank first-and left me last
And now your name's the only thing
This bottle still remembers
Ashes in my champagne
Just smoke and lipstick stains
I sip what's left, I wear the rest
Like perfume on my shame
It sparkled, it fizzed, it died in my hand
And I still sit alone-like we never began
