Close to the Flame

[Verse 1]
Time is beating like a river to the sea, to the sea
Love is fleeting like a shiver in the breeze, in the breeze

[Chorus]
Why did I have to get close to the flame
Now I know things will never be the same again

[Verse 2]
People let go of the things they need the most, need the most
'Til they're hollow, torn and empty like a ghost, like a ghost

[Chorus]
Why did I leave you crying in the rain
Now I know things will never bе the same again

[Bridge]
And blinded by thе sun
I thought you were the one

[Chorus]
Why did I have to get close to the flame
Now I know things will never be the same again
