I want back the fire
That used to beat in my eyes
I need the light now
To help me up when I cry
But you were just not my happy ending
The only thing you could do was pretending
But you just couldn't stay
The only thing you did was run away

It's a little too late to apologize
And to regret right now
Cause it wasn't a game where you could quit and come back
As nothing has happened before
And now you're standing right outside my door
Waiting for me to come home
After you left me alone
And when you're little you believe in fairy tales
But when you grow up you realize it's not the way it works, but

I know, I know, I know I can't be loved
Without the blame
And all the shame
Now I know, I know, I know I can't be loved
Without the pain, so all I say

Is I want back the fire
That used to beat in my eyes
I need the light now
To help me up when I cry
But you were just not my happy ending
The only thing you could do was pretending
But you just couldn't stay
The only thing you did was run away

And I wrote letters while I cried
But I wasn't worth your time
And all the things that I did were never a success
So I needed someone to clear up your mess
And now I don't really know who you really are
Seem like a stranger, stranger with the same blood

Now I know, I know, I know I can't be loved
Without the blame and all the shame
Now I know, I know, I know I can't be loved
Without the pain so all I say

Is I want back the fire
That used to beat in my eyes
I need the light now
To help me up when I cry
But you were just not my happy ending
The only thing you could do was pretending
But you just couldn't stay
The only thing you did was run away

Run away, run away, run away

I want back the fire
That used to beat in my eyes
I need the light now
To help me up when I cry
But you were just not my happy ending
The only thing you could do was pretending
But you just couldn't stay
The only thing you did was run away
