The heart is a crazy thing to bet

But it felt as sure as any sure thing can get

Thought those blue eyes were staring into my soul

As they were only searching for a way to let go

When I was on fire

Why did you hold back

Why'd you let my heart give you everything I had

When did you know

You've given up

I sure would have liked to know that we weren't us

'Cause when you were making time

I was making love

And the lies they'll always come unraveled

Just like blacktop turns to gravel

My trouble feels cold to the summer it's betraying

So when you were letting go last night

Did you know weren't stayin'

When I was on fire

Why did you hold back

Why'd you let my heart give you everything I had

When did you know

You've given up

I sure would have liked to know that we weren't us

'Cause when you were making time

I was making love

When I was on fire

Why did you hold back

Why'd you let my heart give you everything I had

When did you know

You've given up

I sure would have liked to know that we weren't us

'Cause when you were making time

I was making love

I was making love
