Watch the Fire

It took some time to see the writing on the wall
Spells out your name
Guess some wounds you gotta feel

I shoulder my share of the hurt
And through it all, I carry the blame
I need some time to go and heal

Tell you the truth, I'm taking a beating
Thinking of you, stuck in a feeling

'Cause I left without a look, made an exit for the ages
Through a door that's still revolving in my mind
And I only kept the book to set fire to the pages
Now I'm burning down the story of my life

Just to watch the fire

Wasting my life waiting for time
To heal the scars that I gave to myself
And I got bandages to change

I leave behind the mess I poured
Into my heart trying to fill up the well
Where the ghost of you remains

Show me the way (show me the way)
Give me some guidance (give me some guidance)
Something to say (something to say)
Break up the silence

'Cause I left without a look, made an exit for the ages
Through a door that's still revolving in my mind
And I only kept the book to set fire to the pages
Now I'm burning down the story of my life

Just to watch the fire
Just to watch the fire, yeah

'Cause I left without a look, made an exit for the ages
To go chasing down extraordinary lies
Yeah, and the memories you shook got me going through the stages
Now I'm digging up what I buried alive

Yeah, I'm burning down the story of my life
Yeah, I'm burning down the story of my life
Just to watch the fire
Just to watch the fire, yeah, yeah

Tell you the truth (it took some time to see the writing on the wall)
I'm taking a beating (spells out your name)
Thinking of you (guess some wounds you gotta feel)
Stuck in a feeling (just to watch the fire)
