At night I woke up crying in the lane behind the house
Coals were wet and steaming by the time I figured it out
You didn't die in the fire
It was the flood that carried you from me
And the embers of your house still glowing
Make it hard, hard, hard
To sleep
Its hard to breathe
There's not much room to go more crazy
A flaming sword above my head for all of you to see
Beware my girl, beware, beware my girl, beware
Of these memories
And what is real
What is real
I walk this world forever in a dream
Or is this the land of the living
Or is this your way to tell me
That I
Could've saved you
I couldn't save you
