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
