Stroke the Flame

There were times in the past. I stood by your side I learned nothing ever last. No one there to confide. Spent day after day waiting for her to come back. Lost what I wanted to say Time went by My heart started turning black. No more tears left to cry Time didn't heal Sometime during the tears I cried I just lost what it meant to feel Does that mean, the love has died A new me now can start The beginning of a new day Chains that now wrap my heart. In the guarded words I say As I slowly reach for all my tomorrows Can't play no ones game As I step past my sorrows I find life's to blame. Whatever you may think Have I gone insane Love took my heart to the brink Left me in so much pain Now that my heart is free No more lost to desire That's how I want it to be. Can't let no one stroke that fire.
