The Torch

(album: The Years Go Fast - 2023)

Well, it's an addiction
Staring right into the heart of a blue flame
I guess I'm the only one to blame
For loving someone that probably ain't ever gonna love me back, yeah
Now am I crazy
For taking that third degree kind of pain?
The kind that hurts and never goes away
It leaves a scar, yeah, I should know better than that, yeah

But I guess you're that match I just can't unstrike
That Marlboro Red I just have to light
While you're out there starting fires in some other damn town
I'm still carrying the torch that always burns me down

Well, that voice in my head
Keeps telling me that I should move on
But this heart of mine got a mind of its own
And it's begging to drown in you, spark the gasoline, mm

I guess you're that match I just can't unstrike
That Marlboro Red I just have to light
While you're out there starting fires in some other damn town
I'm still carrying the torch that always burns me down

Burns me down
(Hey)

It's an addiction
It's an addiction

Well, I guess you're that match I just can't unstrike
That Marlboro Red I just have to light
While you're out there starting fires in some other damn town
I'm still carrying the torch that always burns me down

Yeah, burns me down
'Cause it's an addiction
