WHAT’S LEFT OF THE FIRE

It isn’t right for me to want you.
I should be leaving, but I don’t know how.
There’s somebody at home who would not understand
If she knew what I was doing right now.

Each time I see you, I’m filled with a longing
That I haven’t felt in so long,
And although I want to be with you,
A part of me knows that it’s wrong.

If she ever knew there’s someone like you
Filling my heart with desire,
That’s all it would take to make her heart break,
And put out what’s left of the fire.

I don’t want to hurt her or lose her,
So I’ll just go on without you,
And I’ll do my best to convince her
That my love has always been true.

And although in my heart I’ll still want you,
I’ve got to remember my vow,
And I hope that she never discovers
The thoughts I’ve been thinking right now.
