I woke in the morning and I
Went to the kitchen and I
Hunted for something to make
The fruit or the plain
I kept changing my mind
Maybe a slice of cheesecake

But I just passed on the pie
Brought you some toasted rye
You couldn't eat it I know
But you left me
Just 'cause I made you some toast

Left me, just 'cause I made you some toast

I know I can't cook but I
Claim that I still don't know why
You had to run out on me
I've picked up charred remains
Of our window panes
Oh, but I somehow still can't see

Though our house burned down and I
Put on a frown and cried
Now where will I live? Who knows?
But you left me
Just 'cause I made you some toast

Left me, just 'cause I made you some toast

[Fire brigade break]

You shouted a warning cry
By then the flames were too high
Burned like it was made of hay
Collapsed building frame
Was a death corridor
There's just no way we could stay

Smoke made it a blackened sky
Ash got into my eye
Buy me a new home? who knows?
'Cause you left me
Just 'cause I made you some toast
Oh, yeah
You left me
Just 'cause I burned up the toast

You left me
Just 'cause our home is now toast
