You Were On Fire Lyrics

I've never seen you clear before
I've never heard you cry
My blinded heart has washed ashore
My innocence's gone dryAnd I wish I had more patience
There are things I can't reverse
I don't know why you were so threatened
By the entire universeYou were on fire
Tainted in the sun
You ran against the raging wind
Decadent and drunken with desireFooling the love of everyone
Your reverence in flames
Your eyes were golden and awake
You were on fireNo one's ever saved you
You only saw him bleed
And his sorrow misbehaved you
To avenge and not to pleadBut out here, there is no other
Who has seen you broken down
Bare and blameless for your lover

Bold and fearless for the crowdYou were on fire
Tainted in the sun
You ran against the raging wind
Decadent and drunken with desireFooling the love of everyone
Your reverence in flames
Your eyes were golden and awake
You were on fireYou were on fire
Fooling the love of everyone
Your reverence in flames
Your eyes were golden and awake
You were on fire
