a fire i can't put out

i'm finding out how hot an old flame can burn. you're a feeling i haven't forgot

the love i can't unlearn. you've become a memory i can't live without. you'll always be a fire i can't put out. i don't know how to handle the dream you left behind. it's like a lighted candle burning up my mind. at least i'm happy knowing what love is all about. you'll always be a fire i can't put out. embers to ashes

that's how it should be. you'd think by now my heart would know

and it could set you free. the things i've tried

the tears i've cried

i guess there's no doubt

you'll always be a fire i can't put out. you'll always be a fire i can't put out.
