Everytime I stir the ashes
That ol' fire begins to burn
When I wake those sleepin' memories
Those ol' feelin's still return

Oh I shouldn't think about you
But my heart keeps hangin' on
I love to remember that
Some things are better left alone

All the smoke from burnin' bridges
Makes it hard to catch my breath
But the precious love I'm missin'
Is chokin' me to death

Oh you're still my strongest weakness
And I'll love you 'til I'm gone
But I'll have to remember
Some things are better left alone

Oh you're still my strongest weakness
And I'll love you 'til I'm gone
But I'll have to remember
Some things are better left alone

I love to remember that
Some things are better left alone
