                      - M -

Another lonely night this evening,

   just another broken almost start.
Our dark thoughts laugh at us in silence,
   point out the ruined castle 'round our heart.

See the distance away from happy,
   but no more tears in our eyes so grey.
We wear our pain like a badge of  honor,
   solo for life is the debt we pay.

So We’ll Just Hide Our Flame -
Won't Dance To Life's Game -
We’ll Safeguard Our Flame -
We Had Nothing To Lose -

And Nothing’s What We Gained.

 The voice inside had whispered a warning,
    telling us just don’t go there.
Don’t be fooled by her encouragement,

   ‘cos like the rest she won’t really care.

We wait for silence in our room,
   mourning the dream that’s so dead.
All of the courage it took just to open up,
   turns to mocking laughter in our head.

So We’ll Just Hide Our Flame -
Won't Dance To Life's Game -
We’ll Safeguard Our Flame -
We Had Nothing To Lose -
And Nothing’s What We Gained.

The words she spoke seem nothing but lies,
   another scar’s what we gain.
We knew better then to even try,

   so why we did we just can’t explain.

We should have listened to our hearts warning,
   and just run the other way.
We knew we’d just end up mourning,
   this cost us more than the price pay.

So We’ll Just Hide Our Flame -
Won't Dance To Life's Game -
We’ll Safeguard Our Flame -
We Had Nothing To Lose -
And Nothing’s What We Gained.
