I use to wake up
And watch you while you while you were sleeping
You'd open up your eyes
Like you knew what I was thinkin'
You thought my arms was home, right where you belonged
How could we start so right, baby, end up so wrong?

It's hard to keep the fire burnin'
It's hard to keep the flame alive
You know its hard to heal the hurtin'
When you just can't keep the fire burnin'

Do you remember
That weekend at the ocean?
We were invisible, midnight locomotion
Tide is rollin' in, Time to sink or swim
Do you think we could ever strike another match again?

It's hard to keep the fire burnin'
It's hard to keep the flame alive
You know its hard to heal the hurtin'
When you just can't keep the fire burnin'
