The Fire Letra

I'm drowning in your words, just barely, just barely alive

My broken heart gave me 7 years of ill-timed luck.
All of my nonexistent friends, those who I love, those who stuck
Look at me now, look at me now, nothing can hold me back,
All of the lies, all of the times you threw me off track.

Chorus: She sets fire to everything I hold dear,
In the palm of my hand
Won't you put me out, away from here,
End this story, I know you can.

Number the pages, erase the words, retell the ending,
Mistakes we knew we would make, while only pretending,
I promised, I promised I would never start from scratch again,
All of the time, all of the work put forth and then...

Chorus: She sets fire to everything I hold dear,
In the palm of my hand
Won't you put me out, away from here,
End this story, I know you can.

You opened my life for the soul purpose of closing my mouth,
Here we are once again, taking the easy way out,
This is it, this is it, why don't you throw me a line,
I'm drowning in your words, just barely, just barely alive
