keep the fire burning

i used to wake up

watch you while you were sleeping

you'd open up your eyes like you knew what i was thinking

you thought my arms were strong

right where you belonged

how could so right

baby

end up so wrong?

cause it's hard to keep the fire burning

it's hard to keep the flame alive

it's hard to heal the hurting

just can't keep the fire burning

do you remember the weekend by the ocean?

we were invisible in midnight locomotion

the tide is rolling in

it's time to sink or swim

do you think we could ever strike another match again

cause it's hard to keep the fire burning

it's hard to keep the flame alive

it's hard to heal the hurting

just can't keep that fire burning

oh

and it's hard to heal the hurt

just can't keep the fire burning

it's hard to keep the fire burning

it's hard to keep the flame alive

oh

and it's hard to heal the hurting

when you can't keep the fire burning

oh

it's hard to heal the hurting

just can't keep the fire burning

and it's hard to heal the hurting

when you just can't keep the fire burning
