Lyrics

[Verse 1]

So the fire is almost out

And there's nothing left to burn

I've run right out of thoughts

And I've run right out of words

As I used them up

I used them up

Yea, the fire is almost cold

And there's nothing left to burn

I've run right out of feeling

And I've run right out of world

And everything I promised

And everything I tried

Yea, everything I ever did

[Chorus]

I used to feed the fire

I used to feed the fire

I used to feed the fire

I used to feed the fire

But the fire is almost out

Is almost out

And there's nothing left to burn

No there's nothing left to burn

Not even this

[Verse 2]

And the fire is almost dead

And there's nothing left to burn

I've finished everything, yeah

And all the things I promised

And all the things I tried

Yea, all the things I ever dreamed

[Chorus]

I used to feed the fire

I used to feed the fire

I used to feed the fire

I used to feed the fire

But the fire is almost out

[Verse 3]

Half my life I've been here

Half my life in flames

Using all I ever had

To keep the fire ablaze

To keep the fire ablaze

To keep the fire ablaze

To keep the fire ablaze

But there's nothing left to burn

[Outro]

No, there's nothing left to burn

And the fire is almost out

And the fire is almost out

And the fire is almost out

Almost out, almost out

Almost out, almost out

And there's nothing left to burn
