When your heart's on the loose again
When all your dreams seem to pale and fade away
When your mind and your soul is divided in two
When all the colours of love turn into blue
Your mind is aching, your bones are breaking
The ground is shaking, the universe falls apart
Just like a shot right through your heart
Don't start a fire when there's nothing to burn
Just like a shot right through your heart
Don't start a fire when there's nothing left to burn
And you give and you live and you learn
Like my mother said, what you give you won't get back in return
Don't start a fire when there's nothing to burn
When you're down on your knees again
When you're down for the count when you rise again
Your mind is aching, your bones are breaking
The ground is shaking, the universe falls apart
Just like a shot right through your heart
Don't start a fire when there's nothing to burn
Just like a shot right through your heart
Don't start a fire when there's nothing left to burn
And you give and you live and you learn
Like my mother said, what you give you won't get back in return
Don't start a fire when there's nothing to burn
Don't let this fire, don't let this fire burn
Don't let this fire, don't let this fire burn out
Don't start a fire when there's nothing to burn
Don't start a fire when there's nothing to burn
Just like a shot right through your heart
Don't start a fire when there's nothing to burn
Just like a shot right through your heart
Don't start a fire when there's nothing left to burn
And you give and you live and you learn
Like my mother said, what you give you won't get back in return
Don't start a fire when there's nothing to burn
Just like a shot right through your heart
Don't start a fire when there's nothing to burn
Just like a shot right through your heart
Don't start a fire when there's nothing to burn
And you give and you live and you learn
Like my mother said, what you give you won't get back in return
Don't start a fire when there's nothing to burn
