I'm burnin' the letters that I've kept from time to time

And I waited to see if she would call

I know that what she's doing's gonna make me lose my mind

But she's gone ahead and done it after all yes she's gone ahead and done it after all

The picture that she gave me makes the flame burn high

For I just can't stand to see them on the wall

I told them that she would never listen to his lies

But she's gone ahead and done it after all yes she's gone ahead and done it after all

The tears I shed are from the smoke that fills the room

I guess it's best that I forget about that call

I said I'd never cry but if that smoke don't clear out soon

Well I've gone ahead and done it after all yes I've gone ahead and done it after all

The flame has just burned out like her love for me

But is that footsteps that I hear down the hall

Now in her arms I know that's where I'll always be

For she said she couldn't do it after all that her love was just for me after all
