Lyric
🎵 Let’s sing along with the lyrics! 🎤
I’m finding out how hot an old flame can burnYou’re a feeling I haven’t forgot, the love I can’t unlearnYou’ve become a memory I can’t live withoutYou’ll always be a fire I can’t put out
I don’t know how to handle the dream you left behindIt’s like a lighted candle burning up my mindAt least I’m happy knowing what love is all aboutYou’ll always be a fire I can’t put out
Embers to ashes, that’s how it should beYou’d think by now my heart would know and it could set you freeThe things I’ve tried, the tears I’ve cried, I guess there’s no doubtYou’ll always be a fire I can’t put out
I don’t know how to handle the dream you left behindIt’s like a lighted candle burning up my mindAt least I’m happy knowing what love is all aboutYou’ll always be a fire I can’t put out
You’ll always be a fire I can’t put out
