People We Used To Be

How I miss the people we used to be
And all those things that you brought out in me
We're both different now and times have changed
Even the best of friends can become estranged
Well I am well aware that we can not go back, but

I will not stand by and watch this fire
Burn down everything we worked so hard to build
If you keep willing those flames to go higher
You know they will

Things were easier once, when our hearts were light
We'd stay up talking late, and put all the world to right
We got fair warning, though I may have spoke too soon
'Cause something altogether unforeseen stepped into view
Well I am well aware we can't go back there, but

I will not stand by and watch this fire
Burn down everything we worked so hard to build
If you keep willing those flames to go higher
You know they will

I will not stand by and watch this fire
Burn down everything we worked so hard to build
If you keep willing those flames to go higher
You know they will

I will not stand by and watch this fire
Burn down everything we worked so hard to build
If we keep willing those flames to go higher
You know they will
