I Used To Be On Fire

he smiled

i loved him

i told him everything i had

but time started slipping

he stopped coming home

i stood alone in the cold

a swollen moon chased Orion

the two of them dancing forever that way

they've done this before

the lead and the follow

the heart and the hollow

i used to be on fire

i tore out the phone and died when he left

a long time of crying and beer

and strangers 

over and over were strangers staring at me

touching my hair

it's like they could see it

my broken light 

i used to be on fire

i locked the doors and cried myself raw when he left

i loved him

never pictured the end

then i saw his eyes 

her red hair mirrored there

he said he was leaving

the memory still stabs me

i used to be on fire

the heart and the hollow

such a perfect pair

It was a long time ago, but I feel it again. Beautiful love somehow changing.
