X Old Flames

The story's old as the hills of love won and lost

Someone does the tossing and someone gets tossed

It's always different, yet somehow the same

We've all got an X old flame

It happens so often, no one is surprised

We get further apart, the harder we try

You just want to leave, it shows in your eyes

We won't even bother to cry

I guess we're just X old flames

Like so many people, we let it all end

We can't be lovers and we're no longer friends

Our love has been where it went

I guess we're just X old flames

What we once had in common, has now taken sides

The bird that once soared, no longer flies

There's no love or money to make it all last

The writing on the wall says you're now part of my past

We thought we were different, we got caught playing games

No use kidding ourselves and saying we've changed

The love we once had has gone down the drain

I guess we're just X old flames

I guess we're just X old flames

Like so many people, we let it all end

We can't be lovers and we're no longer friends

Our love has been where it went

I guess we're just X old flames

As I'm standing here, you're packing your things

There's that telephone, we'll just let it ring

It's probably just him calling again

Changing more of our dreams

It happens so often, no one is surprised

We get further apart, the harder we try

You just want to leave, it shows in your eyes

We won't even bother to cry

I guess we're just X old flames

Like so many people, we let it all end

We can't be lovers and we're no longer friends

Our love has been where it went

I guess we're just X old flames

I guess we're just X old flames

Like so many people, we let it all end

We can't be lovers and we're no longer friends

Our love has been where it went

I guess we're just X old flames

I guess we're just X old flames
