[Verse 1]
I first saw the fire
Standing underneath a no smoking sign
As the flames got higher
They would only burn us sometimes
[Pre-Chorus]
And you call me, but you're caught up
And you won’t leave, but you want love
And I see you fall
But I'm not strong enough to hold you up
And to own it, or to be us
Or to be free, with no trust
And it's taking all of my energy
[Chorus]
How can I love you? How can I love you?
You say you’re gonna wait for me, but you're already gone
How can I want you? How can I want you?
'Cause you're so far away from me, I don't know who you are
You wanna live in a fantasy, sounds so sweet, babe
But you can't escape the reality of tragedy, babe
How can I love you? How can I love you?
It's too fuckin' late for me, can’t do this anymore
[Verse 2]
I turned to the skies
After shots were fired in broad daylight
Like everything’s fine
With water running from your eyes
[Pre-Chorus]
And you call me, but you're caught up
And you won’t leave, but you want love
And I see you fall
But I'm not strong enough to hold you up
And to own it, or to be us
Or to be free, with no trust
And it's taking all of my energy
[Chorus]
How can I love you? How can I love you?
You say you're gonna wait for me, but you’re already gone
How can I want you? How can I want you?
'Cause you're so far away from me, I don't know who you are
You wanna live in a fantasy, sounds so sweet, babe
But you can't escape the reality of tragedy, babe
How can I love you? How can I love you?
It's too fuckin' late for me, can't do this anymore
[Bridge]
We already know, we already broke it
And I really hope you don't feel alone tonight
But don't bring her home and lead her to fall for you
Until you find whatever it is you're looking for
[Chorus]
How can I love you? How can I love you?
You say you're gonna wait for me, but you're already gone
How can I want you? How can I want you?
'Cause you're so far away from me, I don't know who you are
You wanna live in a fantasy, sounds so sweet, babe
But you can't escape the reality of tragedy, babe
How can I love you? How can I love you?
It's too fuckin' late for me, can't do this anymore

A January 2019 Rock Your Lyrics article quoted Minke saying:
his was a moment after a bad break up that I needed to get out my system. I was trying to rationalize it and take the high road but knew what had happened was wrong so I was annoyed and reveling in the petty, just for a second. Thank you,...
