I'm the fire
I'm the fire
I'm the fire you saw so far away that dark cold night
I'm the fire you thought would save your life
A far and distant calling light
You brought your beauty
and laid it shivering by my side
You smiled with gratitude
and asked me why
Why was I alone that night?
Why was I alone at all?
I didn't want to tell why they left
I didn't want to tell you why I was alone
But this was doomed and selfish, I guess I knew
Because when I didn't, you found out anyway
And if you knew, if you knew
At least you could have saved you
In the morning, you came so close
I could swear our souls kissed
But moments go as quick they come
And you were burned and you were gone
And I let you go, I let you go
Hurt and scorned
Just a little burned
Because I've followed people home before
I'm the fire whose desire
turned their houses into ash
I'm the fire with the warmth
So attractive in the dark
But let daylight save you
Before you get too close
And let the moments that come
just as quickly go
I'm the fire that let you leave
I'm the fire you didn't need
