Foreign Fire
Every year goes by
Never ending change and I start to miss the ones I’ve kept the closest to me
Their names spoken now in memory
I’ve always tried to carry my words without deceptive cause but clear objective
I’ve shed the youth I lived in
My head feels so heavy my heart follows suit, is this what I wanted to turn into?
You don’t have to stay, and wonder who I’ve become
I’m the story of the one you used to love
Every time that I never seem to answer why
I’m ignoring all the calls from home to be alone
A foreign voice or dial tone?
Your eyes look so heavy, I had to concede
Is this what you wanted to prove to me?
You don't have to stay and wonder who I've become
Who have I become?
I spent the morning looking down at the baggage claim
With yesterday, your hand in mine, sitting as you laid
A world away and now the words soak into my head
That your chest has stilled and I'll never see you again
I'll never see you again
I swear to God I tried to come back home
Be by your side, to hold you close while the sorrow spread to divide us both
I swear to God I tried, I swear to God I tried
I'm the story of the one you used to love
I didn’t want this
