I was scared of the night when you hid from the light
My love was like a flickering flame
As you lit up my room I could not look away
All the shadows you made in the dark all the same
And I loved you like a flickering flame
I loved you like a flickering flame
Oooooh Oooooh Oooooh Oooooh
She danced all around and in darkness he found
He loved her how could he be blamed
He watched as she burned, burned all the way down
But he loved her just the same
Oooooh Oooooh Oooooh Oooooh
Just out of reach she could finally breathe
Her love was like a flickering flame
But she needed his air and when he wasn't there
Nothing was the same
Oooooh Oooooh Oooooh Oooooh
And you tore me out from under
Everything I thought I knew
And I will never find another
Not like you, not like
You and how could I have known
When you were all I knew
You left me out to dry
Hung up and twisted high
Wind blowing through the night
And I'm a flickering flame
Flickering flame
Flickering flame
Oooooh Oooooh Oooooh Oooooh
