Verse:
There is a fire
In place of a stone
It softens the letters
And it takes you back home
Where once it was written
The lines we obeyed
Now tenderly questions
The choices we've made
Chorus:
Outlive me outlive me
I love you too much
Rubies and emeralds
And sapphires and such
Outlive me outlive me
I love you too much
Coal into diamonds
Ashes and dust
