You were my fire, so I burned, 'til there was nothing left of me
I, I touched your face, I held you close, 'til I could barely breathe
Why give me hope, then give me up, just to be the death of me
Save the rest of me

'Cause I see you, but I can't feel you anymore, so go away
I need you, but I can't need you anymore, you hesitate

Now, now and then, you come around, like there's something left for me
We were one, we were everything
I'm still here, but I'll just keep the rest for me

'Cause I see you, but I can't feel you anymore, so go away
I need you, but I can't need you anymore, you hesitate

We never made it, you hesitated, I don't believe

That I see you, but I can't feel you anymore, so go away
I need you, but I can't need you anymore, you hesitate
'Cause I see you, but I can't feel you anymore, so go away
I need you, but I can't need you anymore, you hesitate, hesitate

You were my fire, so I burned, now there's nothing left of me
