Things We Lost In The Fire

Bastille · Bad Blood [2013]

Things we lost to the flame

Things we'll never see again

All that we've amassed

Sits before us, shattered into ash



These are the things, the things we lost

The things we lost in the fire fire fire

These are the things, the things we lost

The things we lost in the fire fire fire



We sat and made a list

Of all the things that we have

Down the backs of table tops

Ticket stubs and your diaries

I read them all one day

When loneliness came and you were away

Oh they told me nothing new,

But I love to read the words you used



These are the things, the things we lost

The things we lost in the fire fire fire

These are the things, the things we lost

The things we lost in the fire fire fire



I was the match and you were the rock

Maybe we started this fire

We sat apart and watched

All we had burn on the pyre



(You said) we were born with nothing

And we sure as hell have nothing now

(You said) we were born with nothing

And we sure as hell have nothing now



These are the things, the things we lost

The things we lost in the fire fire fire

These are the things, the things we lost

The things we lost in the fire fire fire



Do you understand that we'll never be the same again?

Do you understand that we'll never be the same again?

The future's in our eyes and we will never be the same again

The future's in our eyes and we will never be the same again



These are the things, the things we lost

The things we lost in the fire fire fire

These are the things, the things we lost

The things we lost in the fire fire fire

These are the things we lost in the fire fire fire



Oooooooh ooooooh...



Flames they licked the walls

Tenderly they turned to dust all that I adore
