Kerosene (REMASTERED) Lyrics

Well, I did what I could

Tried to love you well

Even if you never knew

Sorry you weren't loved the way

That you wanted to

I'm older than I think

And you're younger than you know

Is that the reason

That two hearts of ours

Couldn't make a home

Looking down from here

This city has a smile and it wears it well

It smiles out to Jesus

Cause it's been through hell

Looking down from there

It's like an answered prayer

Blue roses in the cold

I'll smile too if I could be so bold

You, burn like kerosene, flicker in the wind

Set my heart ablaze like it's never been

You, the world's gone cold without your fire

And it's too dang bad

It's gonna take a while to get over a love like that

Well to get us back together

It would mean we'd have to talk

And I'd have to be half shameless

And you'd have to call

But I'd put aside my pride

For just a chance to hold your hand

But even then

You'd have to take me

Just the way I am

Well I'll miss you more than words can hope to say

But I'll try to put it down

It's the way to deaf feel like their missing sound

Like a piece of them is gone, they may never get it back

And it changes how we do what we do and how we act

You, burn like kerosene, flicker in the wind

Set my heart ablaze like it's never been

You, the world's gone cold without your fire

And it's too dang bad

It's gonna take a while to get over a love like that

Please don't get me wrong

I wish to God you'd take me back

But I found joy within the suffering

My crucifixion by thumbtacks

And I know it might seem little

But that Lord He stripped me down

To the emptiness inside

I was lost, but now I'm

Found

Now I'm found

You, burn like kerosene, flicker in the wind

Set my heart ablaze like it's never been

You, the world's gone cold without your fire

And it's too dang bad

It's gonna take a while to get over a love like that

You, burn like kerosene, flicker in the wind

Set my heart ablaze like it's never been

You, the world's gone cold without your fire

And it's too dang bad

It's gonna take a while to get over a love like that
