When the Flame Goes Out -

We were two of a kind,

couple hearts on the run.

Desperate for each other

like the crops need the sun.

I got closer to you,

than anyone else

the stones thrown from heaven

till it all went to hell.

I shoulda done more to protect the flame

first time I heard the thunder,

first time I smelled the rain.

Now it’s cold,

like a wind that won’t forgive.

Baby I’ve been cold before,

but never quite like this.

Your body is numb,

and you scream for someone

to come save you but you can’t make a sound.

That’s how it feels

when the flame goes out.

You were everything I needed

thought I was the same for you.

Now it feels like I was just someone to hold on to.

Someone to keep you warm, till you found the real deal.

I wish I didn’t love you, I wish I didn’t feel…

So cold like a wind that won’t forgive.

Baby I’ve been cold before,

but never quite like this.

Your body is numb,

and you scream for someone

to come save you but you can’t make a sound.

That’s how it feels

when the flame goes out.

Yeah, you can cry because it’s gone,

and try to move on.

I’d change it if I could,

but no amount of gasoline can re-ignite what use to be.

Once it’s gone it’s gone for good.

Yeah once it’s gone it’s gone for good.

Now it’s cold…

Cold, like a wind that won’t forgive.

Baby I’ve been cold before,

but never quite like this.

Your body is numb,

and you scream for someone

to come save you but you can’t make a sound.

That’s how it feels

when the flame goes out.

Oh baby that’s how it feels, when the flame goes out.
