Why do the quickest flames burn the most? You only know them for a second but They haunt you like ghosts So, why do the quickest flames burn the most? Invoking your fear of abandonment Leaves you mad, bellicose. So, why do the quickest flames burn the most? Oh, I thought you were a good man But I wasn't even close. I was yours to be had You said you wanted to be a dad They tell you when something seems too good to be true, it is But I wasn't ready to cross that bridge. So, why do the quickest flames burn the most? You only know them for a second but They haunt you like ghosts
