Mary Chapin Carpenter - A Keeper For Every Flame
She says its been so long she cant remember when

The mention of his name didnt make her feel again

That everything is possible and every day a brand new start

Yeah loves something powerful when it finds a willing heart

Sometimes its a fire burning out of control
Sometimes its a candle burning long and low

All these years she never let it go

Theres a keeper for every flame

There was someone in his past that he hasnt gotten over yet

Each days like the last, he just misses what he cant forget

Its just an empty space where something used to be
Now he guards the gate but hes lost the key
So no one enters but no one leaves
Theres a keeper for every flame

I thought my heart had broken but it was just a little bruised

I thought love had spoke, guess I was just confused

Sometimes we were a fire burning out of control
Sometimes we were nothing but a candle glow
But it never died baby and how I know
Theres a keeper for every flame
