"The World Is On Fire" lyrics

I hear your breath in the darkness
I pull you closer to feel
Your heart as it's beating
I need something to be real

Because I promised you heaven
A promise that I can't keep it seems
And now you breathe in the distance
It's killing me

If these heavens' could speak
And angels were real would they try
To save me from crashing
Or paint the sky black with my lies?

My world is on fire
And all I have to take the flames out
Are these tears that I cry
The tears that I cry

I hear the calls in the darkness
So close I can feel
And when I'll cross the waters
Would you know before me?

Or find out when it's too late
A premise I cannot change it seems
And now we breathe in the distance
A fate that I cannot change

If these heavens' could speak
And angels were real would they try
To save me from crashing
Or paint the sky black with my lies?

My world is on fire
And all I have to take the flames out
Are these tears that I cry
The tears that I cry

If these heavens' could speak
And angels were real would they fly
Or fall with my ashes
Paint my sky black with my lies

My world is on fire
And all I have to the take these flames out
Are these tears that I cry

I'm thinking that I might falter
Afraid I might not be strong enough
To keep a distance
I'm so scared of who I could become
Of who I'll hurt when I have surrendered
To this ever present threat
The inevitable echo of these tears that I've cried
