A Keeper For Every Flame

She says it's been so long she can't remember when

The mention of his name didn't make her feel again

That everything is possible and everyday a brand new start

Yea love's somethin' powerful when it finds a willin' heart

Sometimes it's a fire burnin' out of control

Sometimes it's a candle burnin' long and low

All these years she never let it go

There's a keeper for every flame

There was someone in his past that he hasn't gotten over yet

Each day's like the last, he just misses what he can't forget

It's just an empty space where something used to be

Now he guards the gate but he's lost the key

So no one enters but no one leaves

There's a keeper for every flame

I thought my heart had broken

But it was just a little bruised

I thought love had spoken

I guess I was just confused

Sometimes we were a fire burnin' out of control

Sometimes we were nothin' but a candle glow

But it never died baby and how I know

There's a keeper for every flame
