Why should the fire die My mom and dad kept theirs alive It's early yet, don't say goodnight I know in time you'll be all right You're shining still behind the clouds Saying I won't figure you out I like it true, but let me try And try and try for the rest of my life I'm not scared of being alone I'm not scared of being alone, being alone I'm just happier being confused Beside the fire, as long as it's with you Why should the fire die My mom and dad kept theirs alive It's getting late, she says goodnight
