Why is it that we fall in love with people that are so wrong?
So wrong for us and for our life, why are we so drawn?
Drawn to those we know are bad, yet ones we can’t be without.
They’re always the ones that leave us hurt. Usually the ones who are cowards.

They take what they can and leave the rest, knowing that they’ve won.
Won a place in our hearts, knowing they can’t do wrong.
They’re always there when they need us but never the other way round.
They know they’re welcome any time but will disappear without a sound.

Yet still we hold them in high regard. They’re the only star in our sky.
Up there shining really bright; a symbol of love that’ll never die.
And so it goes on this torturous ride, waiting for love to be returned.
But we know that day’ll never come. This fire will forever burn.

And although we’ll always provide the wood, and the heat will forever rise.
The only warmth and light we’ll see are the flames dancing in our eyes.
And even when the wind picks up and blows the smoke off course,
You know the love will still burn strong, for the smoke just blinds us more.
