Bruised she feels
Insecure and jilted
Like a thief he tried to steel her soul

Slyer than his easy smile
He tried to use her for a while
Underneath she's empty as a whole


Oh flame's still burning
She's not learning

Can't keep turning
Back discarded memories
Dusty thoughts

Start to tease her

Loaded with ammunition

Coded by her ambition
He fires a sweet talk into defenseless she
Shot and numb with poison words

She struggles uselessly
Unhurt a slave to his cruel captivity


Oh flame's still burning
She's not learning
Can't keep turning

Back discarded memories
Dusty thoughts
Start to tease her


It's all a game
For him to play

He trank a deep
And threw her away
Deluding her

No illusion is numb

Cynicism neared his head

And left his appetite
Unfed
Alone all his brilliant words

Are dead

Oh flame's still burning

She's not learning
Can't keep turning
Back discarded memories

Dusty thoughts
Start to tease her


He turned her world to black
But she's stopped looking back
Tattooed it all in black

Discretion is the key
To his reality
And she feels now she's free

So she chooses then and there
To leave without a care
She goes into the dusk

As easy as a breeze
No longer on her knees
Her soul is now at peace
