Lost In The Fire...

To hear the screaming that only pierces my heart, smoke bellowing, filling the sky,
I'm a "man" I should be able to open up, I just can't, so I'll go in a quiet room and cry, 
Burning images, I gave you my all, why did this have to happen? as fire danced in the dark, 
Falling tears cleaned my blackened skin, I still see the white lines down my face, it breaks my heart. 

My goodbye was lost in the fire,
I don't know, if you ever heard me,
My goodbye was lost in the fire, 
Angels told me, you were free.

What lesson from God, do I need to learn, he took my baby, everyday, inside, I feel hurt, 
I would have saved the love letters as memories, but even them are burned, 
A piece of you will forever linger in my soul, with no family, I've nowhere to call home, 
When I go into that room and cry, I just wish for a second, that I wasn't so alone. 

My goodbye was lost in the fire,
I don't know, if you ever heard me,
My goodbye was lost in the fire, 
Angels told me, you were free.

We used to say, we would grow old together in that house full of love,
Now the one picture of you I have is in my wallet, and it's never closed,
You would laugh now, as you always said I would never spend a penny,
But, I'd spend all my life to hold the hand of my beautiful wife jenny...

Just to hold you, once more,
That's what I ache for, 
Please! 
Just once more,

If I ever learn to fly,
I'll meet you up in the sky,
I only wish you heard my goodbye,
For it was lost in the fire,
I only wish...
You heard my goodbye. Xx
