She says it's been so long
She can't remember when
The mention of his name
Didn't make her feel again
That everything is possible
And everyday
A brand new start
Yea love's somethin' powerful
When it finds a willin' heart
Sometimes it's a fire
Burnin' out of control
Sometimes it's a candle
Burnin' long and low
All these years
She never let it go
There's a keeper
For every flame

There was someone in his past
That he hasn't gotten over yet
Each day's like the last
He just misses what he can't forget
It's just an empty space
Where something used to be
Now he guards the gate
But he's lost the key
So no one enters
But no one leaves
There's a keeper for every flame

I thought my heart had broken
But it was just a little bruised
I thought love had spoken
I guess I was just confused
Sometimes
We were a fire burnin' out of control
Sometimes
We were nothin' but a candle glow
But
It never died baby and how I know
There's a keeper for every flame
