Lyrics
Oh, my precious ember burning
My sweet glowing light
From the moment I first saw you
I was yours and you were mine
Deep down, we both knew
You were trouble by design
And the echo of my mother's words
"Baby, don't you play with fire"
I was always playing the part
First love, only set by a spark
There was no way of changing my mind
Now, I'm under your spell
Trapped in a lie
Shouldn't have stood that close to the fire
No turning back
Nowhere to run
Nowhere to hide
It's too late to say goodbye
Push back from my heart, wish we could go back to the start
But, oh, my God, is this real?
No more time
It's too late
It's too late to say goodbye
I can hear the sounds of sirens circling around
Forced to watch the ashes floating
Softly drifting to the ground
Deep down, we both knew
It was trouble by design
And the echo of my mother's words
"Baby, don't you play with fire"
I was always playing the part
First love, only set by a spark
There was no way changing my mind
Now, I'm under your spell
Trapped in a lie
Shouldn't have stood that close to the fire
No turning back
Nowhere to run
Nowhere to hide
It's too late to say goodbye
Push back from my heart, wish we could go back to the start
But, oh, my God, is this real?
No more time
It's too late
It's too late
It's too late to say goodbye
After all the dust has settled, we can settle down
Just the two of us forever, no one else around
No one else around
Around
Now, I'm under your spell
Trapped in a lie
Shouldn't have stood that close to the fire
No turning back
Nowhere to run
Nowhere to hide
It's too late to say goodbye
Push back from my heart, wish we go back to the start
But, oh, my God, nowhere to escape
No more time
It's too late
It's too late
It's too late to say goodbye
