Can't find a soul, can't hear a sound
It's just tears of something lonely raining down
Can't see a thing, because you were the one
And now smoke and ash are blocking out the sun
city on fire, this city on fire
There was a time when you were here
When these broken streets weren't drowning in our tears
In this city on fire, this city of strangers
The day that you left me, since you've been gone
Now it's just empty for everyone
If you were here now, I know what you'd say
It's the dawn before a beautiful day
Keep me from falling
cause now I'm just walking through this city on fire
I remember your words, and I hear you song
It's the only thing that's left to keep me strong
Because I'm not a fighter, no
This city's so tired
The day that you left me, since you've been gone
Now it's just empty for everyone
If you were here now, I know what you'd say
It's the dawn before a beautiful day
Keep me from falling
cause now I'm just walking through this city on fire
I just close my eyes, and go another mile
The day that you left me, since you've been gone
Now it's just empty for everyone
If you were here now, I know what you'd say
It's the dawn before a beautiful day
Keep me from falling
I'm lost but I'm walking
Keep us from failing in this city on fire
