Words and music ML Liguori

Campfire was glowing in a ring of rock
When I read your letter, found out you been untrue
Surrounded by a thousand pine, but not enough to keep it inside
I smolder for a moment, and the next thing I know

The flame was just outside of town
When will the blame come crashing down
For the Wildfire

At first they didn’t realize, I couldn’t tell them what I’d done
I let it spill down over the mountain now nobody can go home
Because of you it had begun, I wanted to explain to everyone
I’d never get that chance, I saw the sideways glance

The flame was just outside of town
When the blame came crashing down
For the Wildfire

Blazing treetops explode overhead
They sound as loud as words left unsaid
Now everyone can stand and watch my place burn
Light it up so there’s no chance I can ever return
If they had felt my shame, they would have done the same
