I can talk my way out of trouble with a smoke and a smile
But she dealt me a handful and played along for awhile
But when I woke up to goodbye, coffee black with pain!
She left me she found me half empty again
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!
Chorse
Sometimes there ain't better way around,
Everyone got something to say to how to make the flame go down,
But there all the same as me in secret filled with doubt,
Cause you can't tame a fire you gotta let it burn out!! Mmmhmmmmm!
And here I am living backwards chained to the past,
Days spent running through memories and old photographs and all the
Colors and majestic, pale yellow and blues,
I've gotta let em all go to forget about you!
Chorse
Whoooo, hooooop!! Whoooooo hooooo
But there all the same as me in secret filled with
Doubt, oh you can't tame a fire you gotta let it burn out!
No you can't tame a fire you gotta let it burn out whhooohoo!
