What Was There From The Start?
My Old Flame I still remember your name I've met other people in this game As magnificent and elegant As you, Old Flame But none were quite the same Because they weren't you, Old Flame Old Flame, now and then I think of you How you made my life feel like honeydew Yet I remember when I was horrid to you And the time you left me alone in the cold My Flame kept me warm It burned so bright My Flame gave me hope Bright as you, Old Flame. But time passed My Flame's now an ember But was your Flame too, an ember? A suffocating blizzard envelops my world Darkness clouded my sight Searing hate plants seeds in my mind Yet My Heart couldn't hate No one deserves hate You don't deserve hate Old Flame, where are you? Where are you in this gale? Are you safe and well? Are you warm? It was then I realized I was already cold from the start.
