Can't Tame a Fire

I can talk my way out of trouble with a smoke and a smile

But she dealt me a handful and played along for awhile

But when I woke up to goodbye, coffee black with pain

She left me she found me half empty again

I ran for a remedy

Whatever fit the bill and I followed the

Script closely whiskey, women, and pills

Still the heart ache lingers on as I run myself down

'Cause you can't tame a fire you gotta let it burn out

Sometimes there ain't better way around

Everyone got something to say to how to make the flame go down

But there all the same as me in secret filled with doubt

'Cause you can't tame a fire you gotta let it burn out

And here I am living backwards chained to the past

Days spent running through memories and old photographs and all the

Colors and majestic, pale yellow and blues

I've gotta let em all go to forget about you

But there all the same as me in secret filled with

Doubt, oh you can't tame a fire, you gotta let it burn out

No, you can't tame a fire, you gotta let it burn out
