We have a fire
so bright and so fierce
Light in the darkness
the power to pierce

We made fire
a spark at the start
Pulling at that wire
the strings of our heart

We are burning and burning
Without end with our might
If only we could see
What it's doing to us, such a fright

The thing about flame
is it's directly to blame
for all the misfortune
by the end of the night

Up in a blaze
The flames and the haze
The heat dust and smoke
But now we are broke

If I could change the time
I wouldn't do so
If I could press rewind
I shouldn't do so

Yet left in pieces
I can surely say
I wouldn't take it
Any other way

Even though the fire
might be turned to ash
I would still have desire
creping in through the trash

I have you now
but I'll never know
When now turns to never
Never again and never more

What I have is what is now
holds me close to never let go
To your love I will bow
Even if I'm hurt to the point of a scowl

Forever I'll think
I'll hope and believe
You were the one
The one meant for me

So here I am praying
to the universe and God
don't you leave me straining
I need him my God.
Love burning out seems like it is the only option. That we are destined for pain and boiling down to less than our hearts desire. I don't want it, and I beg for this to be right.
