LYRICS
I never thought that things would get so bad they’d end in this way
I tried to figure out a way to get us back in the game
do you remember all we wanted was to change the world?
I can’t believe that we’ve become a ghost of what we were

baby I know that you’re not very happy
you know I’d do anything for you
never wanna see you taken for granted
no one else can do the things you do
everyone’s tryin’ to come between us
they wanna destroy all the love we found
we can have everything that we wanted
but first we gotta burn it to the ground

I’ve been away from you so long because I just couldn’t stay
it made me crazy watchin’ people wanna treat you that way
and though I’ve missed you I insist you’ve always been on my mind
let’s start this fire right away and not waste any more time

high up above me and you
show ‘em the love, love that’s true
