my fire

I used to see the magic
the fireworks would draw
it was something beautiful
and I looked on in awe

now I know
it was just fire
in the sky
more fire
in the sky

I used to know the way
The path opened for me
It was waiting there always
I was young and free
I held on much too tightly
I rushed into the show
When it started burning me
I couldn't let it go

now I know
it was just fire
in the sky
more fire
in the sky

Love was never hard for me
I gave it all to you
I thought you would come back for me
How little that I knew
What it costs for feeling
The debt you can accrue
With nothing left to last
You never find the truth

now I know
it was just fire
in the sky
more fire
in the sky

returns

i wait blindly
for a light to
open your
unwilling eyes
comfortable in
mediocre glances
so often
i look at you
unblinking
sending thoughts
chances
unsaid feelings
there are no
returns
