Why should the fire die ?
My mom and dad kept theirs alive.
Its early yet,dont say goodnight.
I know your tired, you'll be alright.

Your shining still, behind the clouds.
Saying I wont figure you out.
It might be true but let me try,
and try and try for the rest of my life.

I'm not scared of being alone.

I'm just happier being confused,
beside the fire as long as its with you.
Why should that fire die ?
My mom and dad kept theirs alive.

Its getting late she says goodnight,
and falls asleep, i'll be alright.

gotta return the favor and give u some props on this poem very nice job BTW

The last girl i dated left me feeling this way, she had some bad relationships in the past and wouldn't open up to me. I would always tell her it's ok I don't have to understand I just want to be someone close to you and help you face whatever demons you have.

Then again maybe it's just something about me that scares girls away, I'm having trouble keeping a relationship lately.

I didnt write it...I just love the song.
