Fighting Fire with Firewood

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"
