Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Oh, my precious ember burning
My sweet glowing light
From the moment I first saw you
I was yours and you were mine
[Verse 2]
Deep down we both knew you were
Trouble by design
And the echo of my mother's words
Baby, don't you play with fire
[Verse 3]
I was always playing the part
First love only set by a spark
There was no way changing my mind
[Verse 4]
Now I'm under your spell
Trapped in a lie
Shouldn't have stood that close to the fire
No turning back
Nowhere to run
Nowhere to hide
It's too late to say goodbye
[Verse 5]
Push back from my heart
Wish we could go
Back to the start
But oh my God
Is this real?
No more time
It's too late
It's too late to say goodbye
[Verse 6]
I can hear the sound of sirens
Circling around
Forced to watch the ashes floating
Softly drifting to the ground
[Verse 7]
Deep down we both knew you were
Trouble by design
And the echo of my mother's words
Baby, don't you play with fire
[Verse 8]
I was always playing the part
First love only set by a spark
There was no way changing my mind
[Verse 9]
Now I'm under your spell
Trapped in a lie
Shouldn't have stood that close to the fire
No turning back
Nowhere to run
Nowhere to hide
It's too late to say goodbye
[Verse 10]
Push back from my heart
Wish we could go
Back to the start
But oh my god
Is this real?
No more time
It's too late
It's too late
It's too late to say goodbye
[Verse 11]
After all the dust has settled
We can settle down
Just the two of us forever
No one else around
No one else around
Around
[Verse 12]
Now I'm under your spell
Trapped in a lie
Shouldn't have stood that close to the fire
No turning back
Nowhere to run
Nowhere to hide
It's too late to say goodbye
[Verse 13]
Push back from my heart
Wish we could go
Back to the start
But oh my god
No escape
No more time
It's too late
It's too late
It's too late to say goodbye
