The Fire

In my burning image of us

I'm relearning memories of us

Everything looks different to me now

We were glowing incandescent

Far too bright to last forever

Still, I never thought you'd burn it down

But you burned it down

There's a fire that burned

Until it turned

Everything little thing we had to ashes

I thought we both got hurt

Until I learned

I had the pain and you had all the matches

I lost everything the night that you decided you would light the fire

I lost everything the night that you decided you would light the fire

When you knew the flame was dying

How did you maintain the lying?

Gave yourself away to someone else

You were smoke without the fire

Nothing but a vague outline

Of a more enlightened version of yourself

Version of yourself

There's a fire that burned

Until it turned

Every little thing we had to ashes

I thought we both got hurt

Until I learned

I had the pain and you had all the matches

I lost everything the night that you decided you would light the fire

I lost everything the night that you decided you would light the fire

Oh, you would light the fire

Oh, you would light the fire

You would light the fire

Oh, you would light the fire

Oh, you would light the fire

You would light the fire

I lost everything the night that you decided you would light the fire

Oh, I lost everything the night that you decided you would light the fire
