Like a flame

You burn like a flame

And the embers rise

And return to darkness again

Don't downplay your part

You're the one who beats the blood

Through my heart

I go around the house

Turning out all the lights

Telling everyone love you,

Goodnight

And don't start wondering how or why

Don't even try, don't even try

To think about it only breaks your heart

You know you're beautiful and brave

Eventually you'll, you'll remember who you've always been once again

That's all my wisdom for today

Oh if only I could be really as good

Really as good as all the things I wanna say

So I go around the house

Turning out all the lights

Telling everyone love you,

Goodnight

No sense in wondering how or why

In the end its not for us to decide

And thinking bout it

Only breaks my heart

You burn like a flame

And the embers rise

And return to the night again

To say you knew it from the start

Oh, it doesn't really help too much

When someone who you love departs
