Well it has been so long, never thought that I’d see you again
Too long living with this dull aching pain
Deep and slow, well I had to let you go
Then you walked back into my life
And you said all the things that I wanted to hear
I'd be lying if I say, It didn’t feel good
Just to see you again
I can’t afford to care about you and me anymore
Oh darling it’s not me that you're looking for

Yes we’ve got to say goodbye
’Cause you know it could never be the same
So we’ve got to stop touching the flame
’Cause you know it’s just a hurting game

I loved you then and you know I’d still love you now
But we’re not free to be
I’m not gonna hurt him the way that you hurt me
Now you appear from way back when
Standing here like a vision of what might have been

Yes we’ve got to say goodbye
’Cause you know it could never be the same
So we’ve got to stop touching the flame
’Cause you know it’s just a hurting game
