that old flame (with martina mcbride)
Got a message in my mailbox From an old friend I hardly see All it said was you were trying To get in touch with me And I stared down at your number And I felt passion and I felt fear And I wondered what the hell you wanted After all these years Cause there is danger in the embers And you have only yourself to blame If you get burned when you try to rekindle That old flame Well I know we ended badly And I was angry for a long long time But I've grown some and I wanted you to know that I'm doing just fine And I'm not asking for a replay I got no delusions, got no designs Can I borrow just a little cup of kindness For auld lang syne Cause there is danger in the embers And you have only yourself to blame If you get burned when you try to rekindle That old flame Speak to me plain Tell me the truth Is it really me you miss Or just your long lost youth? Yeah there is danger in the embers And you know nothing, nothing stays the same Yeah you can get burned when you try to rekindle That old flame Yeah you can get burned when you try to rekindle That old flame
