[Intro]

Please, please, please. Can you stop the fire? (Please, please)

Can you stand to fight her? (Please, please)

You can't stop the fire (Please, please)

You won't say the words.

[Verse 1]

Please, please forgive me

But I won't be home again

Maybe someday you'll look up

And, barely conscious, you'll say to no one:

"Isn't something missing?"

You won't cry for my absence, I know

You forgot me long ago

Am I that unimportant?

Am I so insignificant?

Isn't something missing?

Isn't someone missing me?

[Chorus]

Even though I'm the sacrifice

You won't try for me, not now

Though I'd die to know you love me

I'm all alone

Isn't someone missing me?

[Post-Chorus]

Can you stop the fire? (Please, please)

Can you stand to fight her? (Please, please)

You can't stop the fire (Please, please)

You won't say the words (Please, please)

[Verse 2]

Please, please forgive me

But I won't be home again

I know what you do to yourself

I breathe deep and cry out

"Isn't something missing?

Isn't someone missing me?"

[Chorus]

Even though I'm the sacrifice

You won't try for me, not now

Though I'd die to know you love me

I'm all alone

Isn't someone missing me?

[Verse 3]

And if I bleed, I'll bleed

Knowing you don't care

And if I sleep just to dream of you

I'll wake without you there

Isn't something missing?

Isn't something

[Chorus]

Even though I'm the sacrifice

You won't try for me, not now

Though I'd die to know you love me

I'm all alone

Isn't something missing?

Isn't someone missing me?

[Post-Chorus]

Can you stop the fire? (Please, please)

Can you stand to fight her? (Please, please)

You can't stop the fire (Please, please)

You won't say the words (Please, please)
