Well, it had been so
long,
never thought I'd see you again
Too long living with a stoke, aching pain,
deep an d slow I had to let you go
Then you walked back into my life
And you said all the things
that I wanted to hear
I'd be lying if I said it didn't feel good
just to see you again
I can 't afford to care about
you and me anymore
Oh darling,
it's not me that you're looking for
Yeah, we gotta say goodbye
Cause you know it could
never be the same
So we gotta stop touching the flame
Cause you know it's just a
hurting game
I loved you then
And you know I still love you now
But we're not free to be
I'm not gonna hurt him
The way that you hurt me
Now you appear, yeah
From way back when
Standing here like a vision
Of what might have been
Yeah, we gotta say goodbye
Cause you know it could
never be the same
So we gotta stop touching
the flame
Cause you know it's just a
hurting game
Oh, oh, oh, oh, yeah
Yes, we gotta say goodbye
But you know it'll never be the same
So we gotta stop touching
the flame
Cause you know it's just
a hurting game
And we gotta save,
we gotta save our lives
Cause you know we can never
be the same
So we gotta stop touching the
We gotta stop it baby
Cause you know it's just a hurting game
You know it's just a hurting game
