I thought we'd always be a pair
I miss the years we had together
I miss the feeling we once shared

I don't believe in eternal flames anymore
Now that I've learned the rules of the game
What for?
You opened my eyes, made me realize
That I don't believe in eternal flames anymore

With Mary I had something to live for
We used to drink to celebrate
I want things to be like before
Now I drink just to forget

You stole my faith in love when you walked out through the door
I don't believe in eternal flames anymore

Me and Florence talked things over
There was no cloud to hide the sun
But all summers must come to an end
And now our winter has begun

I don't believe in eternal flames anymore
