By the Fire

By the Fire
Written By: Jonny Johnson

You ask me to stay late, it'd really help you out
I'm packing my bags I've got to go now
You said ten times, "Just one more thing."
I'll see you here in the morning

You say you'll owe me if I hang out and stay
You cannot afford the price I'll pay
You'll make it worth my while if I just stay late
I'm on my time now, you're gonna have to wait

You had to boast of what you don't know
You reach out to me to save your show
Your friends caught you on your golden throne
I'm stepping aside, you'll have to make this fall alone

Someone's yanking you chain, you've no one to blame
You turn to me to put out the flame
Your ass is on the line, I don't know what you'll tell them
It's for you to figure out. It's not my problem

You tell me the world should be another way
I know you're unhappy and you want it to change
I understand your dreams haven't been met
You cannot hold me to what hasn't happened yet
