Oh my house got lost in a fire And everything that was there too I was tired of the wallpapers Tired of the way things were Did I leave a lit candle on purpose Tempting fate to make it go away Made a chance to lose everything But you, but you Time lies; says there's no tomorrow I was a kid not long ago You can't hold out forever When the memories themselves are gone Got the keys and a silent landline But the walls and windows are gone We breathe the ashes when the memories burn When the memories burn away No one's gonna carry your sorrows No one's gonna take you through the night No one's gonna carry you through this You're on your own I can't help worrying about you I can't help thinking it was doomed Time lies; says there's no tomorrow I was a kid not long ago You can't hold out forever When the memories themselves are gone Got the keys and a silent landline But the walls and windows are gone We breathe the ashes when the memories burn No one's gonna carry your sorrows No one's gonna carry you through this You're on your own I can't help worrying about you I can't help thinking it was doomed
