Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
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's all about
You'll always be a fire I can't put out
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
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
You'll always be a fire I can't put out
