Things We Lost in the Fire

Things We Lost In the Fire

--Bastille

~

Things we lost to the flame

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 have

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

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'll never be the same again

Do you understand that we'll never be the same again

The future is in our hands and we'll never be the same again

The future is in our hands and we'll 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, 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 adore
