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 used
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
Oh oh oh oh ooooh
Oh oh oh oh ooooh
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
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
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
These are the things
we lost
in the fire, fire, fire
Oh oh oh oh oooh
Oh oh oh oh oooh
Flames they licked
the walls
tenderly they turned
to dust all that I adore
