[Verse 1]

Bruised she feels

Insecure and jilted

Like a thief, he tried to steal her soul

Slyer than his easy smile

He tried to use her for a while

Underneath she's empty as a hole


[Chorus]

Ohhh

Flame's still burning, she's not learning

Can't keep turning back

Discarded memories, dusty thoughts

Start to tease her


[Verse 2]

Loaded with ammunition

Goaded by her ambition

He fires a sweet talk into defenseless she

Shot and numbed with poison words

She struggles uselessly, unheard

A slave to his cruel captivity


[Chorus]

Ohhh

Flame's still burning, she's not learning

Can't keep turning back

Discarded memories, dusty thoughts

Start to tease her


[Bridge]

It's all a game for him to play

He drank deep and threw her away

Diluting her

No illusions now

Cynicism neared his head

And left his appetite unfed

Alone, all his brilliant words are dead


[Chorus]

Ohhh

Flame's still burning, she's not learning

Can't keep turning back

Discarded memories, dusty thoughts

Start to tease her


[Outro]

He turned her world to black

But she's stopped looking back

Tattooed it all in black

Discretion is the key

To his reality

And she feels now she's free

So she chooses then and there

To leave without a care

She goes into the dusk

As easy as a breeze

No longer on her knees

Her soul is now at peace
