I guess everybody heard you left me Nobody said a word, but I can tell in how they talk All the call me if you need me's, how you holdin up's, Come steady for a few weeks but are gone within a month They say time heals, but how long does it take? I love you more than when you walked away You tell me not to call, but what's a man like me to do? I guess the fire burns the hottest where it's blue I try to drown it out with noise, but there you whisper In the silence baby is where I hear you scream Holdin' on has got me hurtin, lettin' go is only pain Whether this or that, just a matter of fact it fuels the flame They say time heals, but how long does it take? I love you more than when you walked away You tell me not to call, but what's a man like me to do? I guess the fire burns the hottest where it's blue All our friends are scared to say your name whenever I'm around Cause they know I'll get to runnin' soon as I hear that sound But we're all back together, and the years have made us old I'll fake a smile, but I won't be whole They say time heals, but how long does it take? I love you more than when you walked away You tell me not to call, but what's a man like me to do? I guess the fire burns the hottest where it's blue Baby that fires still burnin' for you
