Flame of the Fire

written by: GrenadeJumper

In the flame of the fire
There lies my one true desire
The one true meaning to life
Something that nobody believes is right
That we'll all burn out one day or the next
So why not get all of these feelings off my chest
And tell you how I feel
And what it'll take to heal
A broken heart left in a disregarded pile
I can't even fucking force a smile
You've torn down my walls
And left me vulnerable to attack
I never know when you'll stab me in the back
I don't know what I'm doing here
Trying to bring you back to me
And try to make you see something
That you'll never be able to see
Just how much you hurt me
Every single day
And how when there's something
Theres always nothing to say
Is it me not caring?
Or is it you?
'Cause I've run out of things to do
And things to say
This friendship of ours slowly starts to fray
And slowly starts to tear
If only you could hold me
If only you can be there
If only you could comfort me
If only you could catch my tears
And dissipate my fears
And tell me to face the world and find the courage that i've lost
Slowly over the years
