Lyrics:

Things we lost to the flames
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 burned 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 will never be the same again
Do you understand that we will never be the same again
The future's in our hands and we will never be the same again
The future's in our hands 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, the things we lost
These are the things we lost in the fire fire fire

Flames they licked the walls
Tenderly they turned to dust all that I adore

[Ignisan_]

These are the things, the things they lost, the things they lost, in the 🔥 🔥 🔥.

There NEEDS to be more likes and comments

I never really understood this song before. And even though I don't know if this is what it means, this is what it means TO ME personally....
My fiancé and I have lost EVERYTHING we had, multiple times. Every time we've built up everything from scratch, always ripped away from us.
But we always have each other, and the ability (and determination!) to do it again. As long as we're by each other's sides. That's what's important. Not the material things we lost.
