The Flame
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Out of all the things you've ever done
This time I can't hold back
When a heart gets broke this many times
It's easy to lose track
Takin all this pain, and you know I can't regain
The flame
Oh, the flame
I can dream the mean time with you
So unreal
Maybe another lie left for me, is what you feel
Takin all this pain, and you know I can't regain
The flame
Ohhh
Greater men have made it here only to turn back
So cut me loose if you want, or tighten up the slack
Takin all this pain, and you know we can't regain
The flame
Oh, the flame
