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
                      
It’s 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
