lyrics

You’re a flame and I can feel the burn
Cause I touched you
But I can’t let you go

It was March, April, May and June
And no one saw us
We hid inside your room
With nothing left to do but burn

Some might say that this is where it ends
Where the magic turns to science
And lovers turn to friends
And yes it's sad
It ends this way
But this is true
And I can’t make you stay
I wouldn’t anyway

But if you want to stay awhile
I won’t make you go and leave tonight
Though my heart may beat in double time
Still I think it will be alright
And that flame you were
Now it's only smoke and it's begun to hurt my eyes
But no, there’s nothing wrong with love
If you got enough

The only soul here that's left to save
Is my own, cause I gave it away
The only words, here left to speak
Are the same three words
We know but can’t repeat, we can never speak
