Threw away almost everything you gave    and what was left I threw it in the flames    let it burn in the depths of that blaze    it don’t compare to my rage,    it don’t compare.    The rain is pouring and the smoke begins to rise    like a phoenix I saw it in your eyes    I wish I had half the strength that you do   cuz I’m burning here too,    feels like I’m burning here.    I’m a long way from the place I belong    I’m a long way from your arms.    Lost, tired, broken and alone,    laying wounded in this war I call home.    Dad says war is hell unlike what I’ve known    but I’m burning here too,    feels like I’m burning here.    I’m a long way from the place I belong   I’m a long way from your arms.
