Fire

Remember your last birthday? Three months before June I bought two cards 'cause I Just couldn't choose I wrote, "Love you forever" Like I always do But now, I'm in the kitchen They're all that's left of you And I had to burn my house down just to forget the way We used to lie, drunk on the floor, just drinking all day Now I can't bear the burden of what I'm still to find This place ain't big enough for me and what's left behind So I try I try to cast you straight into the fire Breathe the smoke of what is left behind I try to cast you straight into the fire Caught in an endless Sunday My pride's split in two Paint over words you wrote me With wet baby blue But I can still feel the tether Pulling me to you Wherever I go, you're never Too far from my view That's why I had to burn my house down just to forget the way You'd stare at me and say that you could watch me all day Now I can't bear the burden of what I'm still to find This place ain't big enough for me and what's left behind So I try I try to cast you straight into the fire I breathe the smoke of what is left behind I try to cast you straight into the fire, yeah But ever since I moved house I dream every night They're vivid and full of color They always burn bright The images never leave me And put up a fight 'Cause there wasn't a fire hot enough To burn you out of my mind (so I try) I try to cast you straight into the fire I breathe the smoke of what is left behind I try to cast you straight into the fire The fire, the fire, the fire So I try I try to cast you straight into the fire I breathe the smoke of what is left behind I try to cast you straight into the fire Fire, the fire, the fire, no
