Oh my precious ember burning, my sweet glowing light

From the moment I first saw you I was yours and you were mine

Deep down we both knew you were trouble by design

And the echo of my mother's words, "baby don't you play with fire"

I was always playing the part first love only set by a spark

There was no way changing my mind



Now I'm under your spell, trapped in a lie

Shouldn't have stood that close to the fire

No turning back, no where to run, no where to hide

It's too late to say goodbye

Push back from my heart, wish we could go back to the start

But oh my god is this real no more time

It's too late, it's too late to say goodbye



I can hear the sounds of sirens circling around

Forced to watch the ashes floating, softly drifting to the ground

Deep down we both knew it was trouble by design

And the echo of my mother's words, "baby don't you play with fire"

I was always playing the part first love only set by a spark

There was no way changing my mind



Now I'm under your spell, trapped in a lie

Shouldn't have stood that close to the fire

No turning back, no where to run, no where to hide

It's too late to say goodbye

Push back from my heart, wish we could go back to the start

But oh my god is this real, no more time

It's too late, it's too late to say goodbye



After all the dust has settled, we can settle down

Just the two of us forever, no one else around

No one else around around, around



Now I'm under your spell, trapped in a lie

Shouldn't have stood that close to the fire

No turning back, no where to run, no where to hide

It's too late to say goodbye

Push back from my heart, wish we could go back to the start

But oh my god no escape, no more time

It's too late, it's too late to say goodbye
