Water and a Flame Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Seven days has gone so fast
I really thought the pain would pass
It's been nearly an hour since I thought of you
But you're not answering the phone
I'd settle for a busy tone
At least by that I'd know that you're ok
A guy like you ain't meant to go away, no

[Chorus]
Now you're gone
There's nothing else I want
Now that it's over
There's nothing else I want
What have I done?
Looks like I was wrong
Is everything really meant to change?
I guess we're like water and a flame
Water and a flame

[Verse 2]
I'm tired of this empty house
I need a drink to get me out
A couple more 'til I forget your name
I saw a guy that looked like you
I did not know quite what to do
It took a power of will to break my stare
I realized what I wanted wasn't there
[Chorus]
Now you're gone
There's nothing else I want
Now that it's over
There's nothing else I want
What have I done?
Looks like I was wrong
Is everything really meant to change?
I guess we're like water and a flame
Water and a flame

[Bridge]
And if you see me coming
Look away, look away
And if you're mind is made up
Look away, look away
And if you're worried about me
I'm okay, I'm okay
Yes, I am
Oooh
Oh

[Chorus]
Now you're gone
There's nothing else I want
Now that it's over
There's nothing else I want
What have I done?
Looks like I was wrong
Is everything really meant to change?
I guess we're like water and a flame
Water and a flame

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
