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
