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