Fire (Redux)

Fell asleep in the TV light

Now it’s seven years gone

Awoke to find I’ve been tongue tied all along

Afraid of what I hid deep inside

But I’m not scared anymore

These are the things that I wish I’d said before

It’s not right that you would start a trial by fire when I was still getting help

Trying to remember those embers whilst forgetting myself

I’ve started making up excuses instead of facing up to the truth

That the days I spent defending could’ve been better spent forgetting you

Little agony of my life

I do my best to ignore

Can we strike up a deal where you leave mine

And I’ll stay the hell away from yours?!

See, it’s not like I did this on my own but I never came to you for a thing

‘Cause you were far too busy to notice the state I was in

Then you told me you still loved me when I moved half the country away

I’ll never forgive you for that

Don’t want to hear if you’re sad about it, it’s too late

The good old days are done and they weren’t that great for me anyway

I wasted way too long playing your wicked games

Look how the tables turn

Your world’s on fire now let that motherfucker burn

Save yourself, rebuild but don’t return
