well I wrote your name and burned it,
G# D#
to see the color of the flame,
A#m C#
and it burned out the whole spectrum,
G# Fm
as if you were everything,
A#m C#
mine just burned gold, a normal flame,
G# Fm G# C# G# D#
I am, not anything, and all that I remember is the feeling of waking up,
A#m C# G# Fm
when we were kids, you were the sun to which my eyes would not adjust,
A#m C# G#
when we were kids, i was a fountain, you could never drink enough,
G# C# G# D#
then came all the boys who swept you up, playing careless with your heart
A#m C# G# Fm
and every night there was a new girl, sitting beside me in my car,
A#m C# G# C#
something dies when you grow older, but you do the best you can,
A#m C# G#
I am glad, I am glad, you found a good man
