Don't Let My Body Burn Down Tonight

So take me higher. Take me high, way up to the sky, so nothing can touch me. I’m on a roof, and there’s a fire. There’s no way to escape unless you take me higher. So please. Will you? I don’t know where I’ll go. But I need to know if you will. All those times you said you loved me with every breath in your body, with all your being, always and forever. Did you mean it? When I asked if you would fight a lion for me, did you really mean to say “yes”? So prove yourself now and take me higher, for I need to be safe from this freezing fire. Soon enough, my time will expire, and this cruel fire will kill me. Don’t you love me? Can’t you see I’m on fire? And the temperature just gets higher and higher. Now I’m the one who looks like a fool because you’re such a liar.

I came here to this rooftop, and I screamed your name. But you turned away from me and the flame. The flame. I was drenched in fire; I was helpless. Please. Help me understand why that it selfless. And you tried to escape, and help the others too. You said that you did the best you could do. And I never thought twice; I never question you. Now you try and move on and retain the life you had before, but you couldn’t take me high enough. So I came crashing on the floor. I’m aching down to my core.

Now that I’m gone, you're always so tired as the guilt keeps you from rest because you failed. You didn't to save me from the fire. All I asked was for you to take me higher. I thought you could save me from danger; you were just a liar.
