“Flame” Lyrics
When you let the years come in between a perfect, broken love
And the people we’ve become
Space and time are supposed to make it easy
I imagined it a million times, how I’d feel if you showed up
Wonder if you know how much
You standing here both lights me up and kills me
You ask me how I’ve been
We small talk and fake it
I hope you can’t hear my voice shaking
You got your new life, boy, you wear it so nice
Just like you got it all together, carrying yourself better
Than a leave-it-all-behind suitcase
And I’m still carrying a flame
I’m searching every movement for the smallest little sign
I can’t tell what’s on your mind
Is there any part of you that can’t forget me?
And I know you must be seeing someone too, but I can’t ask
Feels like no time has passed
It’s stupid how something so small could wreck me
You ask me how I’ve been
We small talk and fake it
I hope you can’t hear my heart breaking
You got your new life, boy, you wear it so nice
Just like you got it all together, carrying yourself better
Than a leave-it-all-behind suitcase
And I’m still carrying a flame
You got your new life, and I got mine
Seems like you got it all together, carrying yourself better
Than a leave-it-all-behind suitcase
But if you ever wonder like I still wonder,
Gonna put it out there just in case:
I’m still carrying a flame
Yeah, I’m still carrying a flame
