Can Our Love...
No Man In The World
Seems like so long ago now

But I can still remember those feelings

Of being left alone with myself

Sitting in the garden

Watching our house burn

Knowing I couldn't help it

It always had to end in a big statement like that

We were always so intense

Out of control

We never understood what we had

Never knew how to deal with it

Always tearing at each other

The violence and the shame

Banging my head against the wall

Wanting to explode

And it was my idea

And I put you there

I lied and said I didn't want you

You were running to someone else

Breaking the spell

Being able to see me for what I really was

And then the flames

Wanted you

Make me feel like no man in the world wanted you

Still feel the flame

Still feel the cold

Gets so cold around the stove

They still reach for me

Where you gonna go now

They still reach for me

Where you gonna go now

Made you feel like no man in the world wanted you

Made me feel like no woman in the world wanted me

Still feel the flame

Some days it seems I've left those feelings so far behind

Still feel the cold

But they're always there, waiting

Still feel the flame

Tempting, trying to release you

It's so cold around the stove

Don't believe, don't cherish your pretence

They still reach for me

You strike a match

Where you gonna go now

The thrill of having nothing

They still reach for me

The smell of the flames

Where you gonna go now

Made me feel like no man in the world wanted you

Made me feel like no woman in the world wanted me
