I wish you had changed your mind and realized that you can’t just leave when you want

When the smoke clears you'll look around at the ashes
And miss the things that you pushed away
But then it’s too late
And all that’s left are memories and an ash tray


You like to hide your problems
Like they're toys that you don’t wanna share
I guess why it's hard
To leave you there
And then walk away
on with my day

Now i am walking and i'm thinking about this path
I've walked it a thousand times before
And yet somehow every time that i come back
The trees are dying
just a little more
And if i could rescue you
I would help rescue you
I am staring
At a fire
Destroying my whole house
Trying to put it out with water in my hands
And I’m standing here and I
cant stop crying
And you're standing there like you don't understand
