[00:29.630]	I'd heard rumors and I'd heard talk
[00:36.370]	About the trail you'd left of broken hearts
[00:43.170]	About the sea of tears too wide to cross
[00:50.50]	But a little bad press has never scared me off
[00:56.160]	So I burned a path to figure out
[01:00.590]	How to get me some of what you got
[01:03.610]
[01:10.460]	I've got a red hot heart
[01:14.280]	If the talk is true your's is the same
[01:17.880]	And we should be together
[01:21.200]	And let our passions fan love's flame
[01:23.610]
[01:30.980]	When I looked for you I almost passed you by
[01:37.840]	You were so cool and calm I thought my friends had lied
[01:42.979]	But I thought so much reserve must make you wild inside
[01:51.140]	It was there and then that I knew I had to get some of what you got
[01:58.80]
[02:05.140]	I've got a red hot heart
[02:08.840]	If the talk is true your's is the same
[02:12.390]	And we should be together
[02:15.820]	And let our passions fan love's flame
[02:18.800]
[02:25.30]	I thought I'd won your heart when I held you hand in mine
[02:31.820]	I thought it was true love the way we complemented each other
[02:38.860]	But my right is your wrong
[02:40.460]	And when you're right then I'm left with nothing
[02:45.390]	Your light and your heat have all been spent
[02:49.130]	Leaving only smoke and ashes
[02:57.100]	Only smoke and ashes baby
[03:00.680]
[03:06.110]	I've got a red hot heart
[03:09.990]	Any your heart's as blue as the blood in your veins
[03:12.880]	I say there's fire down below
[03:16.600]	You say it's only smoke and ashes baby
[03:19.860]
[03:27.210]	I'm crying all the time
[03:30.820]	Salty stinging tears
[03:34.30]	And mourning for the past carbon-dated years
[03:40.690]	But knowing now for certain that you were always right
[03:47.40]	Because if a breeze could blow you out of my life
[03:52.400]	It's only smoke and ashes baby
[04:01.290]	Only smoke and ashes baby
[04:03.420]
[04:10.320]	I've got a red hot heart
[04:14.220]	And your heart's as blue as the blood in your veins
[04:17.100]	I say there's fire down below
[04:20.730]	You say it's only smoke and ashes baby
[04:24.340]
[04:30.810]	I was blinded by devotion
[04:34.70]	My unwavering love for you
[04:37.580]	So blinded that I thought all your lies were true
[04:44.920]	But now I know for certain since you've gone away
[04:50.900]	It was just a smoldering fire I mistook for a blaze
[04:56.310]	Only smoke and ashes baby
[04:58.820]
[05:27.410]	I've got a red hot heart
[05:31.270]	And your heart's as blue as the blood in your veins
[05:40.790]	I say there's fire down below
[05:44.610]	You say it's only smoke and ashes baby
[05:52.0]	Only smoke and ashes baby, baby ...
