Old Flame

Caught off guard, I was drinking with old friends

When the bar started playing your tunes

I and heard your voice, above all the noise

There was nothing that I could do

Love turns to smoke

Dreams turn to dust but that old melody’s just the same

My heart still burns, my stomach still turns

When I hear the songs of an old flame

I use to cry when I heard your name

I used to beat myself up

For caring too much, my weakness and such

For losing myself in the game

So I built a castle from ashes

Yeah I made myself queen of my life

These stone walls are strong and they won’t come alight

But your songs still burn through the night
