But I can still remember those feelings
Of being left alone with myself
Sitting in the garden
Watching our house burn
Knowing I couldn't help it
It always had to end in a big statement like that
We were always so intense
Out of control
We never understood what we had
Never knew how to deal with it
Always tearing at each other
The violence and the shame
Banging my head against the wall
Wanting to explode

And it was my idea

And I put you there

I lied and said I didn't want you

You were running to someone else

Breaking the spell

Being able to see me for what I really was

And then the flames


Wanted you

Make me feel like no man in the world wanted you

Still feel the flame

Still feel the cold

Still feel the flame

Gets so cold around the stove

They still reach for me

Where you gonna go now

They still reach for me

Where you gonna go now


Made you feel like no man in the world wanted you

Made me feel like no woman in the world wanted me


Still feel the flame

Some days it seems I've left those feelings so far behind

Still feel the cold

But they're always there, waiting


Still feel the flame

Tempting, trying to release you

It's so cold around the stove

Don't believe, don't cherish your pretence

They still reach for me

You strike a match

Where you gonna go now

The thrill of having nothing

They still reach for me

The smell of the flames

Where you gonna go now


Made me feel like no man in the world wanted you

Made me feel like no woman in the world wanted me
