Light it on Fire - Cowboy Mouth

it’s four a.m., i’m drunk and alone

trying to call you on a public phone.

i wanted passion, i wanted desire.

my heart is a flame that pains me

if i do not light it on fire.

i’m the perfect picture of a perfect fool.

you’re out doing what i wanted you to

i’m in the heartbreak hotel and there’s a desk clerk for hire.

my heart is a flame that pains me

if i do not light it on fire.

how can i tell you

just how it feels.

how do you make love stay

and how do you know if what’s staying is real.

i was the one full of whiskey and talk.

i was the one with the skip in his walk.

you say the truth hurts, yeah well, so does a liar.

my heart is a flame that pains me

if i do not light it on fire.
