You never know what the moment means Till it's finally gone You burned so fast, you put out the flame Tell me, what went wrong? How do you get back To the heat of yesterday? How do you live feelin' Like you're dying more each day? After the fire is gone After the fire is gone You had the whole world at your feet And you stood so tall You played the game, won too many times Now you've lost it all What got you started Now is a million miles away You wake up only to find That you're a little bit too late After the fire is gone After the fire is gone After the fire is gone World keeps turnin', life keeps burnin' After the fire is gone (After the fire is gone) World keeps rollin' on and on And on and on and on After the fire is gone After the fire is gone After the fire is gone World keeps turnin', life keeps burnin' After the fire is gone (After the fire is gone) World keeps rollin' on and on And on and on and on (After the fire is gone) World keeps turnin', life keeps burnin' After the fire is gone (After the fire is gone) World keeps rollin' on and on And on and on and on (After the fire is gone) It's gone, it's gone, it's gone, it's gone After the fire is gone (After the fire is gone) It's gone, it's gone, it's gone, it's gone After the fire is gone (After the fire is gone)
