We didn't start the fire It was always burning Since the world's been turning We didn't start the fire No we didn't light it But we tried to fight it. - Billy Joel

We didn't start the fire
It was always burning
Since the world's been turning
We didn't start the fire
No we didn't light it
But we tried to fight it.

Additional quotes by Billy Joel

Some love is just a lie of the heart
The cold remains of what began with a passionate start.
And they may not want it to end
But it will, it's just a question of when.
I've lived long enough to have learned
The closer you get to the fire the more you get burned.
But that won't happen to us
Because it's always been a matter of trust.

I don't want clever conversation
I never want to work that hard.
I just want someone
that I can talk to
I want you just the way you are. I need to know that you will always be
The same old someone that I knew
What will it take till you believe in me
The way that I believe in you.
