Miriam

Well I never thought love could hurt so bad
Sometimes I think I’m better dead
I’ve been up all night with a crazy head
All the things you do just drive me mad
I’ve had all I can stand, can’t take no more
Time to pick my dreams up off the floor
After all the shots you’ve taken
Why does my love still go on?

Miriam…put out the fire
Miriam…kill the desire

Well I never thought a woman could be so cold
I feel like I’ve been bought and sold
Everytime I hear that song on the radio
I can’t hold on, I lose control
I get sucked up in the vows you make
You think promises were made to break
Well if you don’t want my lovin’
Won’t you leave my heart behind

Miriam…put out the fire
Miriam…kill the desire

Why does every little thing have to be so hard?
Makes the journey alone seem twice as far
Got my hands on the table, I’ve played my cards
How can I get by with half a heart?
Wish that my good sense could over ride
All these feelings of love that I hold inside
Well if my love ain’t worth keeping
Won’t you hand me back my life?

Miriam…put out the fire
Miriam…kill the desire
