I remember being far from home, talking on the telephone
|
You told me it's over, you made up your mind
|
I'm part of the life that you're leaving behind
|
|
I'm left holding the torch
|
And the heat from the flame
|
Only leaves me in pain
|
Don't you know how much it hurts
|
You took all I had and you threw it away
|
|
I'm left holding the flame, yes I am
|
(Holding the flame)Once again
|
I'm left holding the flame, yes I am
|
(Holding the flame)Once again
|
|
No matter what you say it hurts, you didn't have to make it worse
|
It would have been better had you told me yourself
|
Instead you left it to somebody else
|
|
Maybe I can understand, you've been staying with another man
|
Day isn't long, nights can be lonely
|
I wasn't there and you needed to hold me
|
|
I'm left holding the torch
|
And the heat from the flame
|
Only leaves me in pain
|
Don't you know how much it hurts
|
You took all I had and you threw it away
|
|
I'm left holding the flame, yes I am
|
(Holding the flame)Once again
|
I'm left holding the flame, yes I am
|
(Holding the flame)Once again
|
|
I remember being far from home, talking on the telephone
|
You told me it's over, you made up your mind
|
I'm part of the life that you're leaving behind
|
|
I'm left holding the torch
|
And the heat from the flame
|
Only leaves me in pain
|
Don't you know how much it hurts
|
You took all I had and you threw it away
|
|
I'm left holding the flame, yes I am
|
(Holding the flame)Once again
|
I'm left holding the flame, here I am
|
(Holding the flame)Once again
|
I'm left holding the flame, yes I am
|
(Holding the flame)Once again
|
I'm left holding the flame, yes I am
|
(Holding the flame)Once again
|
I'm left holding the flame, yes I am
