I used to wake up, watch you while you were sleeping
You'd open up your eyes like you knew what I was thinking
You thought my arms were strong, right where you belonged
How could so right, baby, end up so wrong?
Cause it's hard to keep the fire burning
It's hard to keep the flame alive
It's hard to heal the hurting
Just can't keep the fire burning
Do you remember the weekend by the ocean?
We were invisible in midnight locomotion
The tide is rolling in, it's time to sink or swim
Do you think we could ever strike another match again
Cause it's hard to keep the fire burning
It's hard to keep the flame alive
It's hard to heal the hurting
Just can't keep that fire burning
Oh, and it's hard to heal the hurt
Just can't keep the fire burning
It's hard to keep the fire burning
It's hard to keep the flame alive
Oh, and it's hard to heal the hurting
When you can't keep the fire burning
Oh, it's hard to heal the hurting
Just can't keep the fire burning
And it's hard to heal the hurting
When you just can't keep the fire burning
