Putting Out Fires

If we put our heads together, I think we can salvage it

If we ride the stormy weather, will we really benefit?

Is there anything left to save now anyway?



When you're near my heart beats quicker, faster

It's your skin as pale as alabaster

It has to be, it has to end

Losing a lover, gaining a friend



Yesterday your virtue inspired me

And yesterday you ignited the flames that burnt inside of me

So why when I wake up today are the ashes about us?



Now I've lost the strength to crush a flower

And now I grow weaker with the passing hours

You once was the fire, you once was the glow

I was so sure then, and now I don't know



I've wasted time away,

But I think that it's ok 'cause

I've wasted time away with you



Now look what we've built together

We didn't waste anything

We've built a fire that burns too strong to die

Or am I a liar who smothers the flames?



When you're near my heart beats quicker, faster

It's your skin as pale as alabaster

It has to be, it has to end

Losing a lover, lying to a friend



I've wasted time away,

But I think that it's ok 'cause,

I've wasted time away with you
