Things we lost to the flames
Things we'll never see again
All that we have 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 in 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
I was the match and you were the rock
Maybe we started this fire
We sat apart and watched
All we had burnt 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 in the fire, fire, fire
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
