Seems like so long ago now
|
But I can still remember those feelings
|
Of being left alone with myself
|
Sitting in the garden
|
Watching our house burn
|
Knowing I couldn't help it
|
It always had to end in a big statement like that
|
We were always so intense
|
Out of control
|
We never understood what we had
|
Never knew how to deal with it
|
Always tearing at each other
|
The violence and the shame
|
Banging my head against the wall
|
Wanting to explode
|
|
And it was my idea
|
And I put you there
|
I lied and said I didn't want you
|
You were running to someone else
|
Breaking the spell
|
Being able to see me for what I really was
|
And then the flames
|
|
Wanted you
|
Make me feel like no man in the world wanted you
|
Still feel the flame
|
Still feel the cold
|
Still feel the flame
|
Gets so cold around the stove
|
They still reach for me
|
Where you gonna go now
|
They still reach for me
|
Where you gonna go now
|
|
Made you feel like no man in the world wanted you
|
Made me feel like no woman in the world wanted me
|
|
Still feel the flame
|
Some days it seems I've left those feelings so far behind
|
Still feel the cold
|
But they're always there, waiting
|
|
Still feel the flame
|
Tempting, trying to release you
|
It's so cold around the stove
|
Don't believe, don't cherish your pretence
|
They still reach for me
|
You strike a match
|
Where you gonna go now
|
The thrill of having nothing
|
They still reach for me
|
The smell of the flames
|
Where you gonna go now
|
|
Made me feel like no man in the world wanted you
|
Made me feel like no woman in the world wanted me
|
