lyrics

I was young or so it seemed, spent time alone with all my hopes and dreams, you were there ripped at the seams. So was I we both know what that means.
Well I know you were alone with her that night, yeah I know cos it was what you felt was right. And I know that you believe I did my best not to deceive you, but I thought I’d never leave you, cos I thought i’d never need to, my lady on fire.
Well whether we were right or whether wrong, yeah the message stays the same so don’t be long and I know it sounds insane and you must think I am strange but I’m sure I’d do the same if I had the chance again, my lady on fire.
Well the hope that we once had may now have died, oh i’m sure there’s better days and better times oh and i’ll try not to belie all your dreams cos they were mine and i’m sure you must have lied but I still think you were right, my lady on fire.
Well she could break your heart just with a stare, though it seems sometimes like she was never there and I know it seems a shame that you won’t see her again. I didn’t mean to cause you pain, there was no one else to blame, my lady on fire.
I’ll face the night off to you, i’ll see the light shine through you, i’ll face the night, i’ll face the night, i’ll face the night off to you.
I’ll face the night off to you, i’ll see the light shine through you, i’ll face the night, i’ll face the night, i’ll face the night off to you.
