stolen fire lyrics
[verse 1]
when we kissed last night i knew the story
it’s the same old, same old song
we battled for the passion and the glory
but we loved too long

[verse 2]
when the new wears off, the weak ones fade
some wh0re moves in for the k!ll
i could hear her thunder in the love we made
i can hear it still

[pre+chorus]
it was singing in your veins
every time you touched me
it was written on your face
when you said that you lovеd me

[chorus]
you’ve been stealing firе
you’ve been bringing it home
stoking the coals of desire
stolen fire — i might have burned as bright
but i could not hold a candle to that light
of stolen fire
[verse 2]
was she all that good? was i all that bad?
did you have to take notes in the dark?
have you taught her how to do all the things that i taught you?
did our years leave a mark?

[pre+chorus]
i know it’s not cool to be angry
i know it’s not ’90s to care
but she ate from off my table, she was treated like a sister
thought i knew her well, but you knew her better

[chorus]
you’ve been stealing fire
you’ve been bringing it home
stoking the coals of desire
stolen fire + i might have burned as bright
but i could not hold a candle to that light
of stolen fire

[bridge]
shine on, live your life as lovers
baby, i’m gone, who knows what i’ll discover?
as the years get born, and your circles never close
you will find some th+rns in that innocent rose
and you will pluck out her heart
and she’ll know what i’m feeling
’cause old habits die hard, and
[chorus]
you’ll be stealing fire
you’ll be bringing it home
stoking the coals of desire
stolen fire, she thinks she burns that bright
but she can’t hold a candle to that light
she’ll never hold a candle
