up in smoke

first place, last place, no place
on the ladder I went down

in this house on fire
burning to the ground

how could she let it
let it all burn down

we baked this cake so beautiful
or at least it was to me

I guess the beauty within
was something she could not see

the fire, it is a blazing
and the smoke it is so black

with no one there to help me
will I ever see this love come back

and if it does, will it be too late
needle in, damage done

bits and pieces of this broken love
that was once heaven from above
