Fine Young Cannibals - The flame lyrics

rate me

I remember being far from home, talking on the telephone

You told me it's over, you made up your mind

I'm part of the life that you're leaving behind

I'm left holding the torch

And the heat from the flame

Only leaves me in pain

Don't you know how much it hurts

You took all I had and you threw it away

I'm left holding the flame, yes I am

(Holding the flame)Once again

I'm left holding the flame, yes I am

(Holding the flame)Once again

No matter what you say it hurts, you didn't have to make it worse

It would have been better had you told me yourself

Instead you left it to somebody else

Maybe I can understand, you've been staying with another man

Day isn't long, nights can be lonely

I wasn't there and you needed to hold me

I'm left holding the torch

And the heat from the flame

Only leaves me in pain

Don't you know how much it hurts

You took all I had and you threw it away

I'm left holding the flame, yes I am

(Holding the flame)Once again

I'm left holding the flame, yes I am

(Holding the flame)Once again

I remember being far from home, talking on the telephone

You told me it's over, you made up your mind

I'm part of the life that you're leaving behind

I'm left holding the torch

And the heat from the flame

Only leaves me in pain

Don't you know how much it hurts

You took all I had and you threw it away

I'm left holding the flame, yes I am

(Holding the flame)Once again

I'm left holding the flame, here I am

(Holding the flame)Once again

I'm left holding the flame, yes I am

(Holding the flame)Once again

I'm left holding the flame, yes I am

(Holding the flame)Once again

I'm left holding the flame, yes I am
