I was scared of the night when you hid from the light My love was like a flickering flame As you lit up my room I could not look away All the shadows you made in the dark all the same And I loved you like a flickering flame I loved you like a flickering flame Oooooh Oooooh Oooooh Oooooh She danced all around and in darkness he found He loved her how could he be blamed He watched as she burned, burned all the way down But he loved her just the same Oooooh Oooooh Oooooh Oooooh Just out of reach she could finally breathe Her love was like a flickering flame But she needed his air and when he wasn't there Nothing was the same Oooooh Oooooh Oooooh Oooooh And you tore me out from under Everything I thought I knew And I will never find another Not like you, not like You and how could I have known When you were all I knew You left me out to dry Hung up and twisted high Wind blowing through the night And I'm a flickering flame Flickering flame Flickering flame Oooooh Oooooh Oooooh Oooooh
