House on Fire

Like a House On Fire

Rishi Dhir, June 2018

Come back home, babe, it's on fire

It's dark outside, the flames grow higher

In that place, in that time

Did I think we'd make it

My love awaits me, cold and tired

The children laugh but cry for a father

What did I do, did I stay

When the choice was given

What did we lose

Like this house on fire

What path did I choose

In this house on fire

I don't want life to be forsaken

All I have can just be taken

In the blink of an eye

Does it all really matter

What did we lose

Like this house on fire

What path did I choose

In this house on fire

I know what I did was wrong

Sometimes my ego can be oh so strong

Was I blind to the hurt you suffered

You know that is not who I am

I've come home to start all over

From that time, in that place

Can I be forgiven

What did we lose

Like this house on fire

What path did I  choose

In this house on fire

What did we do

In this house on fire  

Our love is true
