False Flame True
False flame, or true
I never could quite tell
I only wanted you
My heaven, or my hell
And falling wasn’t intended
I only wanted time
Instead, my heart was rended
You never could be mine
There are flickers in the night
When I watch the fan go round
I wonder how you’re faring
How you could let me down
And I wonder if you think of me
Or consigned me to the past
I just wanted to keep you
But the things we hold don’t last
But slip like sand from our hands
Love can not be chained
And the fire I saw in you
Was never mine to claim.
