"Look Before You Fall." -Taylor Swift


Our love was a flame

    Burning oh so bright

Our love was a flame

    The brightest light in sight

 

We started off

     as high as one can be

Burning in the night

     So strong

     So bright

Dancing, like a girl in a brand new dress

 

So high we were

     Taller than the I can see

Only you and me

We flickered and we burned

We flickered and we shined

One flame a dancing bug

the other close behind

 

We burned and burned

     Until the month end

We burned and burned

     Until the wick was at end

 

We burned so bright

     We became the Light

For all to see

We didn't care

About them

For it was only you

and me

 

We burned and burned

     Until the flames shot no more

     For their light was dead

     Their life was at an end...

 

Our love was a flame

     Burning oh so bright

Our love was a flame

     Until you said goodnight.

"We're born with millions

Of little lights shining in our hearts

And they die along the way

Til we're old and we're cold

And we're lying in the dark

'Cause they will all burn out one day..."

-Passenger All the Little Lights
