I light up my lantern for another night
This old heart of mine ain't feeling right
Seems like all old lovers get to be bad news
The ones you try so hard to hold you turn around and lose

Burning mem'ries to feel the flame
Of a love grown cold no one to blame
Wishful thinking things were still the same
I'm burning mem'ries just to feel the flame

Right outside my window in a blue street light
A couple slowly walking home and holding tight
While my arms are aching it's not my turn
There's just a few more memories I've left to burn

Burning mem'ries to feel the flame...
I'm burning mem'ries just to feel the flame
