[Verse 1] I can talk my way out of trouble with a smoke and a smile But she dealt me a handful, I played along for awhile When I woke up to goodbye, coffee black with pain She left me and she found me half empty again
[Verse 2] I ran for a remedy, whatever fit the bill And I followed the script closely whiskey, women, and pills Still the heart ache lingers on as I run myself down Cause you can't tame a fire, you gotta let it burn out
[Chorus] Sometimes there ain't no better way around Everyone got something to say How to make the flame go down But they're all the same as me in secret Filled with doubt 'Cause you can't tame a fire You gotta let it burn out
[Verse 3] And here I am living backwards, chained to the past Days spent running through memories and old photographs And all the colors, the magentas, pale yellows and blues I've gotta let 'em all go to forget about you
[Chorus] Sometimes there ain't no better way around Everyone got something to say How to make the flame go down But they're all the same as me in secret Filled with doubt 'Cause you can't tame a fire You gotta let it burn out
[Bridge] But they're all the same as me in secret Filled with doubt 'Cause you can't tame a fire You gotta let it burn out
[Outro] No you can't tame a fire You gotta let it burn out You can't tame a fire You gotta let it burn out Oh, you can't tame a fire You let it burn outTeksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
