I built the fire
but she lit up
I looked her dead in the eye
and asked do you believe in love?
She said no,
not so much these days
and i said why
she said, nobody stays oh nobody stays
nobody stays anymore
I love the way that your eyes hold
won't you tell me all the things
that I'll never know
oh, won't you stay?
she said no,
I've got a thunder in my soul
like you've never known
a thunder in my soul
like you've never known
my knees are weak
but my heart strong
she looked me dead in the eye and asked
'do you believe in love'
i said 'no, not so much these days'
she said 'why'
i said 'nobody stays oh, nobody stays...
nobody stays anymore'
