Lyrics
We can never light that old flame again
Never feel the same again
With warmed over love and leftover dreams
When our friendship turned to love
That's when the world turned on
But when our love turned to friendship
I knew the feelin' was gone
Why keep clingin' to bits and pieces
When all the time, loneliness increases?
We both have to know when to let go
But we talk and talk (talk and talk) the night away (the night away)
The more we talk, the less we say
There's no way, just ain't no way
We can ever (never) light that old flame again
Never feel the same again (never)
With warmed over love and leftover dreams
When our love was a ragin' fire
We'd make love all night
But now when we're makin' love
We make love just to be polite
We can't go back to where we've been
Can never cross that bridge again
But let's be glad for what we had
'Cause we took and took until it's all used up (all used up)
We can't drink from an empty cup
It's all used up, it's all used up
We can never (never) light that old flame again
Never feel the same again (never)
With warmed over love and leftover dreams
We can never (never) light that old flame again
Never feel the same again (never)
With warmed over love and leftover dreams
'Cause we took and took until it's all used up
We can't drink from an empty cup
It's all used up, it's all used up
We can never (never) light that old flame again
Never feel the same again (never)
With warmed over love and leftover dreams (never)
Never will we ever (never) light that old flame again (never)
Never will we ever (never) feel the same way again (never)
Never will we ever (never) light that old flame again (never)
Never will we ever (never) feel the same way again (never)
Never will we ever (never) light that old flame again (never)
Never will we ever (never) feel the same way again (never)
Never, never will we ever
