The Flame

I bet you didn’t know I held this flame

And all these years past it still feels the same.
For me you outshine almost everything
And yet another woman wears your ring.
I wonder what she did to make you stay.
While my love only turned your heart away.

I wonder why I played it like a game,

When I was here still standing with this flame.


CHOR. Burning me down…Burning me down

Burning me down, Glowing embers falling all around.


So I almost called you up the other night.
Even though I knew it wasn’t right.
Then I took out all your letters and I held them to the light
Of a single candle’s **** bright.
The ashes floated upwards like a prayer….
Like the dream I had of you still standing there,
Somewhere around some corner, somewhere beyond the frame,
And we would merge together with one Flame.

CHOR. Burning me down…Burning me down
Burning me down, Glowing embers (falling) falling all around.

Repeat CHOR.
