Things We Lost in the Fire - Smith, Decker

Things we lost to the flames

Things we’ll never see again

All that we’ve amassed

Sits before us, shattered into ash

These are the things, the things we lost

The things we lost in the fire, fire, fire

These are the things, the things we lost

The things we lost in the fire, fire, fire

We sat and made a list

Of all the things that we had

Down the backs of table tops

Ticket stubs and your diaries

I read them all one day

When loneliness came and you were away

Oh, they told me nothing new

But I love to read the words you use

These are the things, the things we lost

The things we lost in the fire, fire, fire

These are the things, the things we lost

The things we lost in the fire, fire, fire

I was the match and you were the rock

Maybe we started this fire?

We sat apart and watched

All we had burned on the pyre

You said, (Oh oh oh) «We were born with nothing

And we sure as hell have nothing now»

You said, «We were born with nothing

And we sure as hell have nothing now»

These are the things, the things we lost

The things we lost in the fire, fire, fire

These are the things, the things we lost

The things we lost in the fire, fire, fire

Do you understand that we will

Never be the same again?

Do you understand that we will

Never be the same again?

The future’s in our hands and we will

Never be the same again

The future’s in our hands and we will

Never be the same again

These are the things (These are the things), the things we lost (The things we

lost)

The things we lost in the fire, fire, fire

These are the things (These are the things), the things we lost (The things we

lost)

The things we lost in the fire, fire, fire

These are the things (These are the things), the things we lost (The things we

lost)

These are the things we lost in the fire, fire, fire

Flames, they licked the walls

Tenderly, they turned to dust all that I adored…
