You're left alone with your thoughts all day
When someone calls you tell them that you're ok
Outside the long low shadows creep
You put away the past and you try to go to sleep
Time to build a fire
Time to light it up
Time to let it burn bright and then it's time to stop
And then it's time to stop
I never knew you could be that way
I never knew you would hurt me
I never knew you could be that way
I never knew you would hurt me
Back in the empty city again
Waiting for your passport, running from your friends
Outside they're burning down the past
They're dreaming in their sleep if they think it's gonna last
The night goes 90 miles an hour
The terrifying dawn is unfolding like a flower
They live a life of quiet despair
They turn to pull you in
But they never find you there
They never find you there
I never knew you could be that way
I never knew you would hurt me
I never knew you could be that way
I never knew you would hurt me, hurt me
I never knew you could be that way
I never knew you would hurt me
I never knew you could be that way
I never knew you would hurt me, hurt me
Time to build a fire
Time to light it up
Time to let it burn bright and then it's time to stop
Time to build a fire
Time to light it up
Time to let it burn bright and then it's time to stop
Time to feed the fire
Time to fill your cup
The heat eats everything and it's never gonna stop
Time to feed the fire
Time to fill your cup
The world will keep on turning, it's never gonna stop
No, it's never gonna stop
I never knew you could be that way
I never knew you could be that way
