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)
