  1. I woke up to another mess in the living room

  2. Broken bottles all around my feet

  3. They came again in the night under crescent moon

  4. Didn't wake me in my sleep

  5. 'Cause they talk and drink and laugh 'bout things

  6. And fall in love in my backyard

  7. I hide and cower in the corner

  8. Conversation's getting hard

  9. 'Cause nobody seems to ask about me anymore

  10. And nobody seems to care 'bout anything I think

  11. And nobody seems to recognize me in the crowd

  12. In the background screaming, "Everybody, look at me"

  13. And I'm fading away, you know, I used to be on fire

  14. And I'm fading away, you know, I used to be on fire

  15. I'm standing in the ashes of who I used to be

  16. And I'm fading away, you know, I used to be on fire

  17. You know, I used to be on fire

  18. You know, I used to be on fire, fire

  19. I used to be a darling starlet like a centerpiece

  20. Had the whole world wrapped around my ring

  21. I flew too closely to the sun that's setting in the East

  22. And now I'm melting from my wings

  23. 'Cause I'd laugh and drink and talk 'bout things

  24. And fall in love in my backyard

  25. Now it's my own anxiety

  26. That makes the conversation hard

  27. 'Cause nobody seems to ask about me anymore

  28. And nobody ever cares 'bout anything I think

  29. And nobody seems to recognize me in the crowd

  30. In the background screaming, "Everybody, look at me"

  31. And I'm fading away, you know, I used to be on fire

  32. And I'm fading away, you know, I used to be on fire

  33. I'm standing in the ashes of who I used to be

  34. But I'm fading away, you know, I used to be on fire

  35. You know, I used to be on fire

  36. You know, I used to be on fire

  37. Well, I used to be on fire

  38. You know, I used to be on fire

  39. You know, I used to be on fire

  40. You know, I used to be on fire, fire

Angel on Fire

I woke up to another mess in the living room

Broken bottles all around my feet

They came again in the night under crescent moon

Didn't wake me in my sleep

'Cause they talk and drink and laugh 'bout things

And fall in love in my backyard

I hide and cower in the corner

Conversation's getting hard

'Cause nobody seems to ask about me anymore

And nobody seems to care 'bout anything I think

And nobody seems to recognize me in the crowd

In the background screaming, "Everybody, look at me"

And I'm fading away, you know, I used to be on fire

And I'm fading away, you know, I used to be on fire

I'm standing in the ashes of who I used to be

And I'm fading away, you know, I used to be on fire

You know, I used to be on fire

You know, I used to be on fire, fire

I used to be a darling starlet like a centerpiece

Had the whole world wrapped around my ring

I flew too closely to the sun that's setting in the East

And now I'm melting from my wings

'Cause I'd laugh and drink and talk 'bout things

And fall in love in my backyard

Now it's my own anxiety

That makes the conversation hard

'Cause nobody seems to ask about me anymore

And nobody ever cares 'bout anything I think

And nobody seems to recognize me in the crowd

In the background screaming, "Everybody, look at me"

And I'm fading away, you know, I used to be on fire

And I'm fading away, you know, I used to be on fire

I'm standing in the ashes of who I used to be

But I'm fading away, you know, I used to be on fire

You know, I used to be on fire

You know, I used to be on fire

Well, I used to be on fire

You know, I used to be on fire

You know, I used to be on fire

You know, I used to be on fire, fire
