[Verse 1] I used to hear them talk about love And how it leaves without a sound They spoke of flames that lost their color Like it was something understood [Pre-Chorus] Now I know the ache by heart It takes the quiet, takes the air I’m trying not to come apart With all this heat still burning there [Chorus] My broken flame It burns beneath my skin My broken flame I can’t put it out within I wouldn’t wish this on my worst enemy This hurt I never knew by name My broken flame [Verse 2] There’s something tangled deep inside me A room I can’t bring myself to face If only you could see it glowing A small fierce fire I can’t erase [Pre-Chorus] Now I know the ache by heart It takes the quiet, takes the air I’m trying not to come apart With all this heat still burning there [Chorus] My broken flame It burns beneath my skin My broken flame I can’t put it out within I wouldn’t wish this on my worst enemy This hurt I never knew by name My broken flame [Outro] If only you could see how bright It holds against the dark of night My broken flame
