Foreign Fire

Every year goes by

Never ending change and I

Start to miss the ones I've kept the closest to me

(Their names spoken now in memory)

I've always tried to carry my

Words without deceptive 'cause but clear objective

(I've shed the youth I lived in)

My head feels so heavy

My heart follows suit

Is this what I wanted to turn into?

You don't have to stay

And wonder who I've become, become

I'm the story of the one you used to love

I'm the story of the one you used to love

Everytime that I

Never seem to answer why

I'm ignorin' all the calls from home to be alone

A foreign voice or dial tone? Oh

I'm ignorin' all the calls from home to be alone

A foreign voice or dial tone?

My head feels so heavy

My heart follows suit

Is this what I wanted to turn into?

You don't have to stay

And wonder who I've become

(You don't have to stay)

Become

(You don't have to stay)

Your eyes look so heavy

I had to concede

Is this what you wanted to prove to me?

You don't have to stay

And wonder who I've become

Who have I become?

I'm the story of the one you used to love

(The story of the one you used to love)

I'm the story of the one you used to love

(I spent the morning looking down at the baggage claim)

(Yesterday, your hand in mine)

(Sitting as you laid a world away)

(And now the words soak into my head)

(That your chest has stilled)

(And I'll never see you again)

(I'll never see you again)

I swear to God I tried

To come back home

Be by your side

To hold you close

While the sorrow spread

To divide us both

I swear to God I tried

I swear to God I tried

(I'm the story of the one you used to love)

I didn't want this

(I'm the story of the one you used to love)

I didn't want this

I swear to God I tried

(I'm the story of the one you used to love)

To come back home

Be by your side to hold you close

While the sorrow spread

(I'm the story of the one you used to love)

To divide us both

I swear to God I tried

I swear to God I tried, I tried
