Her Fire

Verse 1

The smoke’s still hanging in the hallway

Pictures curling off the walls

Your footsteps echo like a warning

But I don’t move at all

You said the fire was an accident

But you were holding the match

Now the ceiling’s dripping memories

I can’t take back

Pre-Chorus

I taste your name in the ashes

Every lie in the air

You don’t even look behind you

Like I was never there

Chorus

I’m standing in a burning house

Watching you walk out clean

You lit the match, you closed the door

Left the flames with me

I’m choking on the vows we made

As the floor caves in

You don’t feel the heat at all

But I’m dying where you’ve been

Verse 2

The couch we swore we’d grow old on

Is just a shadow now

Your laughter’s framed in broken glass

Still hanging around

I’d have carried you through the fire

If you’d asked me to stay

But you poured gasoline on “forever”

Then walked away

Pre-Chorus

The sirens sound like forgiveness

That I’ll never earn

You found your way to the daylight

I learned how to burn

Chorus

I’m standing in a burning house

Watching you walk out clean

You lit the match, you closed the door

Left the flames with me

I’m choking on the vows we made

As the floor caves in

You don’t feel the heat at all

But I’m dying where you’ve been

Bridge

Maybe I loved you like oxygen

Too much, too fast

Now I’m counting the seconds

Till the roof collapses

If this is freedom on your skin

Why does it hurt like sin?

Final Chorus

I’m still standing in this burning house

Calling out your name

You said love was supposed to hurt

But not this way

When the embers finally fade to black

And there’s nothing left to lose

You’ll remember I was burning

While I watched you choose

Outro

The fire’s out…

But so are we.
