PUTTING OUT FIRES

If we put our heads together
I think we could salvage it
If we ride the stormy weather
Will we really benefit?
Is there anything left to save now anyway?
When you're near
My heart beats quicker, faster
It's your skin as pale as alabaster
It has to be
It has to end
Losing a lover
Gaining a friend

Yesterday
Your virtue inspired me
Yesterday
You ignited the flame
That burnt inside of me
So why when I wake up today
Are there ashes about us?
Now I've lost the strength
To crush the flower
Now I grow weaker
With the passing hours
You once were the fire
You once were the glow
I was so sure then.....
Now I don't know

I've wasted time away
But I know that it's okay
Cos I've wasted time away with you

Now look what we built together
We didn't waste anything
We built a fire
That burns too strong to die
Or am I a liar
Who smotheres the flame?

When you're near
My heart beats quicker, faster
It's your skin as pale as alabaster
It has to be
It has to end
Losing a lover
Lying to a friend

I've wasted time away
But I know that it's okay
Cos I've wasted time away with you
I've wasted time away
But I know that it's okay
Cos I've wasted time away with you.....
