Caught On Fire

Long ago we'd been
Holding hands, laughing at
Every single word we heard
But somehow it all burnt down
And i no longer know
Where we stand

It's like all we were
Got caught on fire
And i'm waiting to see
That if among the ashes i can find
Something worth fighting for

Who i am is not
Who you knew and
Who you are is
Far from who i fell for
And i wonder;
Why do we keep pretending?
We no longer have each other's backs

What are we holding onto?
It's not each other 'cause
We're so far away
that i can barely see you
We're caught on fire and i hope
That once we're done burning
And all there's left is ashes
We can finally rest in peace
