They say if you stare into a fire long enough, it'll clear your memory If only that was so They say if you try to forget something, that with time it will work That's something I don't know I've been replaying that night over and over in my mind Trying to believe it was worth it, but my thoughts haven't been so kind I was mesmerized by that fire, by that bird going up in flames That a tear had escaped my grasp, and nothing would ever be the same
