Water and a Flame Lyrics

[Verse 1: Daniel Merriweather]
Seven days has gone so fast
I really thought the pain would pass
It's been nearly an hour since I thought of you
'Cause you're not answerin' the phone
I'd settle for a busy tone
At least, by that, I'd know that you're okay
A girl like you ain't meant to go away, oh

[Chorus: Daniel Merriweather]
And now you're gone, there's nothin' else I want
And now that it's over, there's nothin' else I want
And what have I done? It 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: Adele]
I'm tired of this empty house
I need a drink to get me out
A couple more till I forget your name
I saw a boy that looked like you
I didn't know quite what to do
It took a power of will to break my stare
I realised what I wanted wasn't there

[Chorus: Adele]
Now you're gone, there's nothin' else I want
Now that it's over, there's nothin' 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: Daniel Merriweather, Adele]
If you see me comin'
I look away, I look away
And if your mind is made up
I look away, I will look away
If you're worried 'bout me
I'm okay, I'm okay, yes, I am
But all this sorrow and this pain
Is gonna go away
Oh, no, no, no

[Chorus: Both, Daniel Merriweather, Adele]
Now you're gone, there's nothin' else I want
Now that it's over, there's nothin' 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 [?]
