I Cant Believe This Old Flame Hasnt Burned Me Down

I found a picture of us Tucked away in an old...dresser drawer By the smiles on our faces, I’d guess We both wanted more Now to this day I say I let you get away And knowing that Always gets me down I can’t believe this old flame Still hasn’t burned me down There’s no smoke but there’s fire A four alarm desire that don’t end... Times has fanned the flame and it’s a shame We’re still only friends This internal inferno Can’t be quenched but who’s to blame I can’t believe this old flame Hasn’t burned me down If not for the wanting...I wonder Would I keep hanging on... We’re still living, so there’s a chance To someday right this wrong So as I sit and wonder Wonder If we’ll ever have our day Will the flame that we both carry Be allowed to rage I can’t believe this old flame Still hasn’t burned me down.... It won’t stop until they lay me 6 feet in the ground We can see by the pictures They speak volumes... without sound I can’t believe this old flame Hasn’t burned me down I can’t believe this old flame Hasn’t burned me down
