fire

Remember your last birthday?
Three months before June
I bought two cards cause
I Just couldnt choose
I wrote, 'Love you, forever'
Like I always do
But now Im in the kitchen
Theyre all thats 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 cant bear the burden of what Im still to find
This place aint big enough for me and whats 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 prides 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, youre never
Too far from my view

Thats why I had to burn my house down just to forget the way
Youd stare at me and say that you could watch me all-day
Now I cant bear the burden of what Im still to find
This place aint big enough for me and whats left behind

So l 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

But ever since I moved house
I dream every night
Theyre vivid and full of color
They always burn bright
The images never leave me
And put up a fight
Cause there wasnt a fire hot enough
To burn you out of my mind

So I try, Itry 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
The fire, the fire, the fire
