Tryin' To Hide A Fire In The Dark

(album: Fire In The Dark - 1993)

From the thoughts that I've been thinking
I should think of an alibi
Though I'm innocent, I've still got a guilty mind
There's no place that I can turn to
When she turns out the lights
To keep her from seeing you burning in my eyes

It's like trying to hide a fire in the dark
Carrying around this torch in my heart
I cannot conceal it I cannot put it out
It's like trying to hide a fire in the dark
Trying to fight a flame I never meant to start
It's out of control and nothing can help me now
No, no, no, no, no

At first it was no problem
Flickering thoughts of you now and then
Nothing intimate that she could call a sin
Then you sparked my imagination
Temptation 'bout to drive me wild
These flares of desire you can see for miles

It's like trying to hide a fire in the dark
Carrying around this torch in my heart
I cannot conceal it I cannot put it out
It's like trying to hide a fire in the dark
Trying to fight a flame I never meant to start
It's out of control and nothing can help me now
Now, now

It's like trying to hide a fire in the dark
Carrying around this torch in my heart
I cannot conceal it I cannot put it out
It's like trying to hide a fire in the dark
Trying to fight a flame I never meant to start
It's out of control and nothing can help me now

It's like trying to hide a fire in the dark
Carrying around this torch in my heart
