House on Fire

Come back home, babe, it’s on fire
It’s dark outside, the flames grow higher
In that place, in that time
Did I think we’d make it

My love awaits me, cold and tired
The children laugh but cry for a father
What did I do, did I stay
When the choice was given

What did we lose
Like this house on fire
What path did I choose
In this house on fire

I don’t want life to be forsaken
All I have can just be taken
In the blink of an eye
Does it all really matter

What did we lose
Like this house on fire
What path did I choose
In this house on fire

I know what I did was wrong
Sometimes my ego can be oh so strong
Was I blind to the hurt you suffered
You know that is not who I am
I’ve come home to start all over

From that time, in that place
Can I be forgiven

What did we lose
Like this house on fire
What path did I choose
In this house on fire
What did we do
In this house on fire
Our love is true
