with a mischevious look in your eyes

I knew I had seen, a spark, a light

you're the guy that every girl wants

but I know your past, the shouts, the taunts

dangerous yet sweet under my tongue

but you didn't tell me the truth, how come?

I thought I knew you, until that day

the day, the day that you ran away

away, away into the light

into the horror, into the night

that day, that day you didn't come

waiting for you 'til the sun came down

the fire, the fire that was burning away

now is lying dead, under the bay

lifeless, unloved, left to decay

the girl, the girl waiting 'til the day

now with someone else as she may

she always remembers that day, that day

that day, that day the fire blew away

into the night, away, away
