feelin' all alone without a friend, you know you feel like dyin'
oh, didn't i, didn't i, didn't i see you cryin'?

the flame

another night slowly closes in
and i feel so lonely
touching heat freezing on my skin
i pretend you still hold me
i'm going crazy, i'm losing sleep
i'm in too far, i'm in way too deep over you
i can't believe you're gone
you were the first, you'll be the last

wherever you go, i'll be with you
whatever you want, i'll give it to you
whenever you need someone to lay your heart and head upon
remember: after the fire, after all the rain
i will be the flame
i will be the flame

watching shadows move across the wall
i feel so frightened
i wanna run to you, i wanna call
but i've been hit by lightning
just can't stand up for fallin' apart
can't see through this veil across my heart, over you
you'll always be the one
you were the first, you'll be the last

wherever you go, i'll be with you
whatever you want, i'll give it to you
whenever you need someone to lay your heart and head upon
remember: after the fire, after all the rain
i will be the flame
i will be the flame

i'm going crazy, i'm losing sleep
i'm in too far, i'm in way too deep over you
you'll always be the one
you were the first, you'll be the last

wherever you go, i'll be with you
whatever you want, i'll give it to you
whenever you need someone to lay your heart and head upon
remember: after the fire, after all the rain
i will be the flame
i will be the flame

whatever you want, i'll give it to you
wherever you go, i'll be with you
and whatever you want, i'll give it to you
