It's getting to the point
Where i no longer know
Exactly what i want or need
A new disaster threatens
Every day that i stay here with you
Trying to start a fire
Where there used to be a fire burning
Here in the ashes of my heart
And all you really need
Is that i give you everything
I used to give you
Back when giving everything was easy
Yesterday i loved you
Now i'm trying to start a fire
Where there used to be a fire burning
Here in the ashes of my heart

I'm sick and tired
Of being sick and tired
We both admit we're losing hope
I love you but i don't suppose
It really makes a difference if i say

It's getting to the point
Where i now disregard the feelings
That you share
I know that you deserve much better
Than this fumbling cartoon character
Trying to start a fire
Where there used to be a fire burning
Here in the ashes of heart

I'm sick and tired
Of being sick and tired
We both admit we're losing hope
I love you but i don't suppose
It really makes a difference if i say

I don't know what to feel now
There's nothing left that's real now
Tell me -
We fell in love together
Spent so many years together
Why must we fall out of love alone?

It's getting to the point
Where i no longer know
Exactly what i want or need
This hurricane's inside me
And i'm sorry but i can't go on
Trying to start a fire
Where there used to be a fire burning
Here in the ashes of my heart

I'm sick and tired
Of being sick and tired
So damn sick of all this
