Some awful rapture of noise held you captured and broke my stare You said it came from there Up there on the stairs No more than a second that mystery beckoned your feet to climb While I stayed behind I held worry on my mind You don't know how fire works It burns too slow, you'll lose it You don't know how fire works It dies until you feed it You dug through the floor boards for some kind of folklore you heard before The newspaper was torn And the match burned bright How I couldn't fathom this loose hanging phantom your fingers wore So yellow in hue It was nothin' I knеw You don't know how fire works It burns too slow, you'll lose it You don't know how fire works It diеs until you feed it You laugh at my temper, your eyes like December show cold and blue Letras de cancionesYou were smiling too I was jealous of you Still, through this day you've been lightin' your way with the pages you burn While others read theirs first See how bright you can shine You don't know how fire works It burns too slow, you'll lose it You don't know how fire works It dies until you feed it Come some lonely evening when these embers go leavin' me bitter and cold We'll watch out bodies grow old You'll hear me whisper, "You were right" You'll laugh at my sorrow, so empty and hollow, I was such a fool That I knew better than you Makin' up all those rules You don't know how fire works It burns too slow, you'll lose it You don't know how fire works It dies until you feed it From Letras Mania
