Last night they said the fire had spread, and we said our prayers.

And now the flames are burning me in my bed, but I just don't care.

We all go to sleep in the same place, and in the morning hope that we're all the same.

Well I wish that I was as good as you, caring and trusting.
Am C Am C
And I wish that my condition was new, but I'm old and rusting.
Am C Am C
So we just hurry up only to wait, add to the list of all the places we hate.
Am C Am C
And I pretend like I got something to say, but I've got nothing.
Chorus:
Am
Now I know that you stole.
G
Yeah, you stole.
C G
From the cradles they were rocked in, you took the first words that they spoke.
Am
Yeah, you stole.
G
Yeah, you stole.
C
So if I'm a liar, and you're a thief, at least we both know where the other one sleeps.
So let's end this tonight.
