It’s lovely to know that the world can’t interfere with the inside of your head.
I will hold your voice in a little box
And when you come upon me I won’t look back at you
You will feel a hand upon your heart while I place your voice back
Into the heart from where it came from
And I will not cry also
Although you will expect me to
I was wiser too than you had expected
For I knew all along you were mine.

Or else, find the boy who lit the fire in the first place to see if you can change him.
