Fire


I set myself on fire

To keep you safe

To keep you warm on these cold dark nights

 

I set myself on fire

Burning to ashes

In front of you

To ashes in front of you

 

I set myself on fire

To keep me safe

To keep me warm on these cold dark nights

 

I set myself on fire

Rising from the ashes

In front of you

The ashes you made me to
