The ashes of a home once full of such joy Now sits a reminder of death Leaves a city unrest Smoke fills his chest til' the end And who's to blame? As I speak your name What's left to say is that "I wish we could just ask God why" But you, you left, in a rush and it makes me so afraid that death could take me any moment You fell away With a strike of the match summons death to his door Those scars were wrote, but to the lives you spoke with held back and choke, just breathe Consuming his life so young and afraid Nothing's ever gonna be the same since you were a ghost in flames the many lives you changed You never got the chance to get away Surrounded by flames he feels the pain But I knew I couldn't comprehend that I won't ever see you again Searching through my eyes and it's plain to see how much we're affected by this broken tragedy Watching a friend fall, the day I can recall, takes the breath from my lungs, showing the hell of it all But, life isn't perfect no one could deserve this Still wandering through these halls while I wonder why you left Take a breath Am I ever gonna see you again? You were a true friend An unfortunate means to end You fell away And I'm so lost without you Oh god just take it back Why can't you take it back? Oh god just take it back I can see it solely through my eyes The life you were given No, I couldn't believe anymore in this world that we live in The future's bleak, taunted by memories of you and me Full of the scars you can't see With a strike of the match summons death to his door Those scars were wrote, but to the lives you spoke with held back and choke, just breathe Consuming his life so young and afraid Nothing's ever gonna be the same since you were a ghost in flames Just want to say that your life has changed me
