Fighting Fire with Firewood
Lyrics
You built a pyre in our home
Fashioned from all that we owned
Doused it in rum and kerosene
Then, with the match in your hand
You said, "If you love something, set it on fire
Watch it melt into you"
You said, "If you love something, let it expire
Watch it turn into dust
You know that this could never last
We were lost from the start"
Embers are all I have left
Flashes of light in the dark
Whispers of life on the wind
Speak to me in your voice
You said, "If you love something, set it on fire
Watch it melt into you"
You said, "If you love something, let it expire
Watch it turn into dust
You know that this could never last
We were lost from the start
You know that I have nothing to give
You deserve so much more
Let it burn, you should forget what we had
Let it die, you should let go of the past"
You said, "If you love something, set it on fire
Watch it melt into you"
You said, "If you love something, let it expire
Watch it turn into dust
You said, "If you love something, set it on fire"
