The Fire

Raven '02

{ Teemana Buffyn tunteet Spikea kohtaan 6. kaudella }


I know very well that we're different
You are the night, I'm the day
But my life is despair and I'm searching
a way to make it back home okay

But the thing I cannot see
Is how could my friends be with me
If they knew
That's where you come in
That's why I'm coming to you

Standing right here, so lost and alone
Replaced with fear is the light that once shone
I know that together we're wrong
But right now I just can't move on

So here I'll stay, in your arms
hiding away from the world
so completely lost, in your charms
rescue me, we have both been burned
rescue me
from this earth

I wanted to escape my desire
but still I came crawling to you
It was so much easier
to take in the fire
but I hated the things that it made me do

I had never intended to use you that way
and you said it yourself, you were through with the play
I just wanted a sparkle, you gave me a flame
now all that there's left is our pain

And right from the start
you and I both knew
despite all that passion
we would never make it through
you knew it was wrong and I knew it was bad
And still it was better than anything we'd ever had

It became too hard to look
others in the eyes
and tell them what I had become
Instead I chose you and with you came the lies
I cannot take back what I've done

I admit that I want you
You're the fire
The one thing that could make me feel
But this isn't love
it's desire
and we both know that can't be real

So how come I'm hurting
after all
breaking your heart had to be done
to help me carry on
to be strong
to let you know you're not the one
So I kind of won

And yet I grieve for you
burn for you
all over again
I remember your words, and your love and your pain
you were true to me, good to me, you kept me sane
I can leave you but with you my fire

will remain.
