Up In Flames

Up In Flames
Fell asleep on your shoulder, and when I woke up
I was covered in questions
We had a fire that smouldered, but suffocated in a cloud of rejection
What happened when you said
‘I’ll never ignore you, you know I love you I’d do anything for you’?

What you gonna do when it all goes up in flames?
When your luck’s gone running and your dream’s gone sour and you’ve only got yourself to blame?
When it all goes up in flames?

Fell asleep in a corner and when I woke up I was covered in scratches
Without a fire I’m dormant, give me a lover and a packet of matches
What happened when you said ‘Hold on for me, Baby’?
It’s not the ending, it’s the waiting ‘round that scares me

What you gonna do when it all goes up in flames?
When your luck’s gone running and your dream’s gone sour and you’ve only got yourself to blame?
When it all goes up in flames, when it all goes up in

And when you think you’re on a hiding to nothing, hide it, hide it, don’t let anybody know
It’s a fool who lets their colours show

Broke me my heart, wrote me a letter, no one wrote back, no one, no, never
I was too young, I was too clever, now I’ve grown up but I know no better

What you gonna do when it all goes up in flames?
When your luck’s gone running and your dream’s gone sour and you’ve only got yourself to blame?
When it all goes up in
What you gonna do when it all goes up in flames?
When your luck’s gone running and your dream’s gone sour and your heart don’t feel the same?
