[Verse]
Em
Remember your last birthday?
Three months before June
Bm
I bought two cards ’cause I
Just couldn’t choose
Em
I wrote, “Love you, forever”
Like I always do
Bm
But now I’m in the kitchen
They’re all that’s left of you
[Pre-Chorus]
Em
And I had to burn my house down just to forget the way
Bm
We used to lie, drunk on the floor, just drinking all day
Em
Now I can’t bear the burden of what I’m still to find
Bm
This place ain’t big enough for me and what’s left behind
[Chorus]
Em Bm
So I try, I try to cast you straight into the fire
Em
Breathe the smoke of what is left behind
Bm
I try to cast you straight into the fire
[Verse]
Em
Caught in an endless Sunday
My pride’s split in two
Bm
Paint over words you wrote me
With wet baby blue
Em
But I can still feel the tether
Pulling me to you
Bm
Wherever I go, you’re never
Too far from my view
[Pre-Chorus]
Em
That’s why I had to burn my house down just to forget the way
Bm
You’d stare at me and say that you could watch me all day
Em
Now I can’t bear the burden of what I’m still to find
Bm
This place ain’t big enough for me and what’s left behind
[Chorus]
Em Bm
So I try, I try to cast you straight into the fire
Em
Breathe the smoke of what is left behind
Bm
I try to cast you straight into the fire
[Bridge]
Em
But ever since I moved house
I dream every night
Bm
They’re vivid and full of color
They always burn bright
Em
The images never leave me
And put up a fight
Bm
‘Cause there wasn’t a fire hot enough
To burn you out of my mind
[Chorus]
Em Bm
So I try, I try to cast you straight into the fire
Em
Breathe the smoke of what is left behind
Bm
I try to cast you straight into the fire
The fire, the fire, the fire
[Outro]
Em Bm
So I try, I try to cast you straight into the fire
Em
Breathe the smoke of what is left behind
Bm
I try to cast you straight into the fire
The fire, the fire, the fire
Em Bm
