I want back the fire That used to beat in my eyes I need the light now To help me up when I cry But you were just not my happy ending The only thing you could do was pretending But you just couldn't stay The only thing you did was run away It's a little too late to apologize And to regret right now Cause it wasn't a game where you could quit and come back As nothing has happened before And now you're standing right outside my door Waiting for me to come home After you left me alone And when you're little you believe in fairy tales But when you grow up you realize it's not the way it works, but I know, I know, I know I can't be loved Without the blame And all the shame Now I know, I know, I know I can't be loved Without the pain, so all I say Is I want back the fire That used to beat in my eyes I need the light now To help me up when I cry But you were just not my happy ending The only thing you could do was pretending But you just couldn't stay The only thing you did was run away And I wrote letters while I cried But I wasn't worth your time And all the things that I did were never a success So I needed someone to clear up your mess And now I don't really know who you really are Seem like a stranger, stranger with the same blood Now I know, I know, I know I can't be loved Without the blame and all the shame Now I know, I know, I know I can't be loved Without the pain so all I say Is I want back the fire That used to beat in my eyes I need the light now To help me up when I cry But you were just not my happy ending The only thing you could do was pretending But you just couldn't stay The only thing you did was run away Run away, run away, run away I want back the fire That used to beat in my eyes I need the light now To help me up when I cry But you were just not my happy ending The only thing you could do was pretending But you just couldn't stay The only thing you did was run away
