[Verse 1]
How could I have known
The God of my youth would come
Crashing down on my heart
I thought that I knew love
But love was a scornful thing
That fed on the fading flame that held
The world together for me
And when it died I fell apart
[Chorus]
The day we met
I was a new fire
Whose heart had been
Drowning for so long
When I was dark
You found a glowing ember
And set my world
Into a blaze again
[Verse 2]
How could I forget?
You saw the stars in me when I
Had sunk into the black
You never thought to leave
You were the drug to bring me out
From a crushing sleep
You told me all you saw was diamonds
You told that until I believed
[Chorus]
The day we met
I was a new fire
Whose heart had been
Drowning for so long
When I was dark
You found a glowing ember
And set my world
Into a blaze again
[Bridge]
And set it all ablaze
And set it all ablaze again
You set it all ablaze
You set it all ablaze again
You set my heart ablaze
You set it all ablaze again
You set my heart ablaze
You set my heart ablaze again
[Chorus]
The day we met
I was a new fire
Whose heart had been
Drowning for so long
When I was dark
You found a glowing ember
And set my world
Into a blaze again
