stolen fire

Lyrics

when we kissed last night i knew the story, it's the same old, same old song, we battled for the passion and the glory, but we loved too long, when the new wears off, the weak ones fade, some whore moves in for the kill, i could hear her thunder in the love we made, i can hear it still, it was singing in your veins, every time you touched me, it was written on your face when you said that you loved me, you've been stealing fire, you've been bringing it home, stoking the coals of desire, stolen fire - i might have burned as bright, but i could not hold a candle to that light, of stolen fire, was she all that good? was i all that bad?, did you have to take notes in the dark?, have you taught her how to do all the things that i taught you?, did our years leave a mark?, i know it's not cool to be angry. i know it's so nineties to care, but she ate from off my table. she was treated like a sister, thought i knew her well - but you knew her better, you've been stealing fire, you've been bringing it home, stoking the coals of desire, stolen fire - i might have burned as bright, but i could not hold a candle to that light, of stolen fire, shine on - live your life as lovers, baby i'm gone. who knows what i'll discover?, as the years get born, and your circles never close, you will find some thorns in that innocent rose, and you will pluck out her heart, and she'll know what i'm feeling, 'cause old habits die hard, and, you'll be stealing fire, you'll be bringing it home, stoking the coals of desire, stolen fire - she thinks she burns that bright, but she can't hold a candle to that light, no she'll never hold a candle. to that light
