Touched By Your Flame

Somehow I Lost My Way
And Let Things Get out of Hand
But the Time Has Finally Come
When I Think I Understand

There Is Only Myself to Blame
For the Pain That I've Been Through
Not Many Understand this
Just Exactly as I Do

When I fell  in Love
I gave My self  Away
It was you I Loved and Trusted
And I Believed your Love would Stay

I Gave you an Awesome Power
And it was a Very Scary Thought
Think What it Would Be like
If your Love for me Should Stop

Well, That's Exactly what happened
My Dreams Came to an End
It Was a Painful Battle
But I'm Finally on the Mend

I Remember it was my own  fault
And the only one I can  Blame
It is only myself you see
I let myself be touched by your flame
