Night Without Fire

it's alright, don't worry
I'm gonna take you right back baby
like I do every night
when we fight, I don't wanna
so sad, so sorry, it's so true
me and you make love like dynamite
you know you do me right

but you hurt me good
your fire burns my wood
you cut me down like a tree at Christmas
light me up for a while
and when you're gone it's wrong again
another night without fire and I'm freezing
cold turkey's a ****

deep down I can feel it
it's like a hammer in the heart
and it's gonna leave a nasty bruise
and drugs and booze won't cure it
you smile, you kill me
spill a little bit of your full cup
on my mind
then I find, I'm thirsty

and I think I understand
why tenderness feels like murder
cause love is a dream
and this dream is black and white it seems
no shades of gray or maybes
it is what it is

I paint a pretty picture
cause I feel that I can fix her
but it ain't a pretty picture
feeling like I do
and thinking I need you to get me through
