You Can't Tame the Flames
You said you could never love my free spirit
And I can’t be with someone unwilling to grow and prosper with me
You said this is it
I said is this how it’s going to be?
You told me that love could conquer all
Tell me why then did you let me fall?
You said you could never love my free spirit
And I’d be a fool to ever let anyone tame it
No point in trying to smother the flames my dearest
The fire within me, you could never contain it
Because I love myself
I know we are better off apart
Because I love you
I'll let you keep that piece of my heart
And when I learn to love another again
I'll look back on this relationship as a lesson
It won't be a matter of if, but when
I'll find a love that I won't have to question
