You were my fire, so I burned Til' there was nothing left of me I, I touched your face, I held you close Til' I could barely breathe Why give me hope, then give me up Just to be the death of me Save the rest of me 'Cause I see you, but I can't feel you anymore - so go away I need you, but I can't need you anymore, you hesitate Now, now and then, you come around, like there's something left for me We were one, we were everything I'm still here, but I'll just keep the rest of me Cuz I see you, but I can't feel you anymore, so go away I need you, but I can't need you anymore, you hesitate We never made it, you hesitated, I don't believe That I see you, but I can't feel you anymore - so go away I need you, but I can't need you anymore, you hesitate Cuz I see you, but I can't feel you anymore, so go away I need you, but I can't need you anymore, you hesitate, hesitate You were my fire, so I burned, now there's nothing left of me
