Oh, Fires
Oh, Fire that burns in my heart,
For whom did I trick you to start?
What reason had I for invoking your flame?
I fear now you'll just burn in vain.
So eager I was to find a fire,
Now you burn as a funeral pyre.
Oh, Fire that burns in my soul,
You got me ahead but I lost all control.
I saw it coming, honestly,
But still I keep going so foolishly.
What reason have I for dragging along,
When constantly I am proved wrong?
Oh, Fire that burns in my mind,
Why do you show me these things I wont find?
Why do you feed these fires inside,
When it is from THEM that I wish to hide.
What reason have you for showing me lights,
That are too dim to guide me away from these nights?
Oh, Fire that burns in my core,
You told me I was in for much more.
And after all you have been right,
That's why I am alone here tonight.
I didn't give heed to your every call,
And now this will fade into nothing at all.
Oh, Fires that burn inside me,
I fear you will burn in vain,
so I plead:
Extinguish yourselves and hideaway,
For the reason you burn is the reason you'll fade.
Come back when the light is true,
Come back when fires burn for you.
Oh, Fire that burns in my heart,
So sorry I am that You have to part.
I thought I was right to let you burn,
It seems there is much I've still yet to learn
But surely a day will come along,
When we'll find our Love sweet as a song.....
Just Hold On.
