Things

Описание: The fire took the house --- the silence took the rest.

Lyrics

Title: THINGS

Verse 1
I watched the walls turn into smoke
Heard the timbers pray then choke
Photographs curled up and cried
Gold and silver ran and died
I stood there counting what was gone
Like numbers mattered when the dawn
Showed me ashes, black and thin
But it wasn’t where the fire had been

Chorus
You can lose all your things in a single night
Watch your whole damn life turn into light
But the worst kind of burning, the slowest sting
Is losing the ones who survived the flames
Yeah, you can rebuild rooms, you can buy back rings
But you can’t replace what the fire took from us
I learned too late what matters ain’t things

Verse 2
I blamed the wires, I blamed the spark
I blamed the dark, I blamed my heart
Said if I’d stayed, said if I’d known
Said if I’d checked one more damn zone
Good intentions paved that floor
Led straight up to a locked front door
I meant to save, I meant no harm
But “meant to” don’t bring back arms

Chorus
You can lose all your things in a single night
Watch your whole damn life turn into light
But the worst kind of burning, the slowest sting
Is losing the ones who survived the flames
Yeah, you can rebuild rooms, you can buy back rings
But you can’t replace what the fire took from us
I learned too late what matters ain’t things

Verse 3
In the quiet after sirens fade
That’s when the real debts get paid
Words I didn’t say stack up like stone
Heavier than any home
Innocence don’t scream or fight
It just disappears overnight
Leaves behind a hollow sound
Like footsteps that won’t turn around

Bridge
Coins melted into one black scar
Just like we did, right where we are
Pressed together, no clear line
Between what was yours and what was mine

Chorus
You can lose all your things in a single night
Watch your whole damn life turn into light
But the worst kind of burning, the slowest sting
Is losing the ones who survived the flames
Yeah, you can rebuild rooms, you can buy back rings
But you can’t replace what the fire took from us
I learned too late what matters ain’t things

Outro
I keep that lump of melted years
As proof of love, as proof of fear
If blame’s a cross, I’ll wear the weight
If regret’s a door, I’ll guard the gate
Let the fire take what it brings
Just don’t let it take our names
I lost everything…
When we walked away the same.
