Listen close to what I have to say

Not everyone will get it right away

Love’s a flame, mesmerizing to see

But if you play with it carelessly

You'll get burned before you break free

Because love is a fire that consumes

It seeps inside and takes all of you

And when you least expect to fall

You’re vulnerable, losing it all

Now you can’t find your way back home

[Don’t come back with that lost look in your eyes

Searching for shelter where my heart still cries

Growing up comes with its share of pain

Life teaches lessons we can’t escape

Love may hurt, but strength remains

Because love is a fire that consumes

It seeps inside and takes all of you

And when you least expect to fall

You’re vulnerable, losing it all

Now you can’t find your way back home

It'll hurt, but it'll fade away

New love will find you someday

You'll learn to hold the flame

Without getting lost in the game

So let me go, don’t hold me back

There's someone else on my path

Maybe someday, we’ll meet again

When you’ve learned to understand

How to love the fire that never ends
