CanÂ't find a soul, canÂ't hear a sound
ItÂ's just tears of something lonely raining down
CanÂ'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 werenÂ't drowning in our tears
In this city on fire, this city of strangers

The day that you left me, since youÂ've been gone
Now itÂ's just empty for everyone
If you were here now, I know what youÂ'd say
ItÂ's the dawn before a beautiful day
Keep me from falling
cause now IÂ'm just walking through this city on fire

I remember your words, and I hear you song
ItÂ's the only thing thatÂ's left to keep me strong
Because IÂ'm not a fighter, no
This city's so tired

The day that you left me, since youÂ've been gone
Now itÂ's just empty for everyone
If you were here now, I know what youÂ'd say
ItÂ's the dawn before a beautiful day
Keep me from falling
cause now IÂ'm just walking through this city on fire

I just close my eyes, and go another mile

The day that you left me, since youÂ've been gone
Now itÂ's just empty for everyone
If you were here now, I know what youÂ'd say
ItÂ's the dawn before a beautiful day
Keep me from falling
IÂ'm lost but IÂ'm walking
Keep us from failing in this city on fire
