It's getting to the point

Where I no longer know

Exactly what I want or need

A new disaster threatens

Every day that I stay here with you

Trying to start a fire

Where there used to be a fire burning

Here in the ashes of my heart

And all you really need

Is that I give you everything

I used to give you

Back when giving everything was easy

Yesterday I loved you

Now I'm trying to start a fire

Where there used to be a fire burning

Here in the ashes of my heart



I'm sick and tired

Of being sick and tired

We both admit we're losing hope

I love you but I don't suppose

It really makes a difference if I say



It's getting to the point

Where I now disregard the feelings

That you share

I know that you deserve much better

Than this fumbling cartoon character

Trying to start a fire

Where there used to be a fire burning

Here in the ashes of heart



I'm sick and tired

Of being sick and tired

We both admit we're losing hope

I love you but I don't suppose

It really makes a difference if I say



I don't know what to feel now

There's nothing left that's real now

Tell me -

We fell in love together

Spent so many years together

Why must we fall out of love alone? 



It's getting to the point

Where I no longer know

Exactly what I want or need

This hurricane's inside me

And I'm sorry but I can't go on

Trying to start a fire

Where there used to be a fire burning

Here in the ashes of my heart



I'm sick and tired

Of being sick and tired

So damn sick of all this
