[ You Tore My Heart Out Of My Chest ]
[ & Just Threw It On The Ground ]
[ You Selfishly Thought That Would Be The Best ]
[ For Everybody Around ]
[ You Stood There Acting All Proud ]
[ While Talking Really Loud ]
[ To The Crowd ]
[ That Has Gathered Around You ]
[ Do You Really Think That You Are Getting Your
Point Through? ]
[ By Telling Them What You Do? ]
[ To Others That You Think Are Not As Strong? ]
[ & You Never Think That Is Wrong? ]
[ Is Your Sense Of Humanity Gone? ]
[ Has Your Good Conscience Moved On? ]
[ This Has Stopped Being Fun ]
[ So Now I’ve Got To Run ]
[ Because It Looks Like This Relationship Is Done ]
[ No Need To Explain ]
[ I Don’t Want To Hear You Complain ]
[ Not Anymore ]
[ Why, For? ]
[ It Makes Me Want To Head For The Door ]
[ I Knew This Was What You Dread ]
[ But When You Decided To Crawl In Another Man’s Bed ]
[ I Really Questioned What Was Going On In Your Head ]
[ You Should Had Thought Of Me ]
[ But You Thought Of Him Instead ]
[ That Is Why In My Heart ]
[ You Are Dead ]

[ Before You & Your Heroic Friends Came ]
[ We Never Knew When The Fires Would End ]

[ Everyone Would Shout ]
[ That They Had Doubt ]
[ About ]
[ When The Fires Would Be Put Out ]
[ It Took More Than Effort & Water To Take Those
Fires Apart ]

[ You Don’t Fight Those Fires On A Dare ]
[ So What Incentive Got You Out There? ]
[ You Risk Your Lives Because You Care ]
[ You Care About The Thousands Of People That You Will
Never Meet ]
[ You Fight The Good Fight Until You Hurt ]
[ From The Top Of Your Head Clear Down To The Bottom Of
Your Feet ]
[ It Is NOT Because Of The Big Paychecks That You Get ]
[ & You Know That You Can’t Control How These Fires Are Set ]
[ But The Paychecks ARE Nice ]
[ Sometimes They Make You Look Twice ]
[ But It Is Not Worth The Ultimate Price ]
[ Watch Out For Falling Branches & Fire In The Roots ]
[ & Ground So Hot ]
[ You Can Feel It Through Your Boots ]
[ You Look Up High ]
[ Towards The Sky ]
[ & Low ]
[ @ The Ground ]
[ You Have To Be Aware Of How The Winds Blow ]

Single Lightning Strike ]
[ It Does Not Do Anything That You Like ]
[ I Have To Say How Much I Am Amazed ]
[ By The Effort & Work Ethic ]
[ Of A Young Man Your Age ]
[ All Of You Guys Are Super Hero’s To All Of Us Plain Folks ]
[ Hiding In Our Homes ]
[ When The Wind Blew In All Of The Smoke ]
[ So Wherever You’d Go ]
[ You Always Chocked ]
[ But You Guys Are Beating That Fire & Turning It Into
Itself ]
[ So It Can’t Burn Anything Else ]
[ You Get In There Like You Are In A Fight ]
[ Beginning @ Your Early Morning Light ]
[ Until Well Into The Night ]

[ No Matter The Chaos Or Strife ]

[ That You Were A 1 In A Million Act ]
[ Now When I See You In My Dreams ]
[ It Makes Me Smile & Cry ]
[ Because We Made Such A Great Team ]
[ I Always End Up Screaming ( WHY? ) ]
