There's a fire in my heart
And it's burning all the time
And I wonder, and I wonder
How you ever sleep at night
I've been calling in the dark
I've been counting on your time
And I wonder, and I wonder
Why it hurts to be alive

Got a message on my phone
I wasn't keeping count
I know you like to talk in code
I've got you figured out
Nobody said it was easy
Yeah, but you gotta believe me
Because I'm losing out
Yeah, I gotta tell ya

There's a fire in my heart
And it's burning all the time
And I wonder, and I wonder
How you ever sleep at night
I've been calling in the dark
I've been counting on your time
And I wonder, and I wonder
Why it hurts to be alive

What is the chance of making life?
Pick up the panic stations
And I can only sympathize
With your hesitations
You can dance the night away
You can force yourself to stay
When you're easing on the brakes
And taking care of things

There's a fire in my heart
And it's burning all the time
And I wonder, and I wonder
How you ever sleep at night
I've been calling in the dark
I've been counting on your time
And I wonder, and I wonder
Why it hurts to be alive

No one sends letters anymore
That's what we've got computers for
Cleaning the shit up from the floor
That's what I live for
That's what I live for

Let me down and leave me hopeless
Stay around and talk it over
Let me down and leave me hopeless
Stay around and talk it over

There's a fire in my heart
And it's burning all the time
And I wonder, and I wonder
How you ever sleep at night
I've been calling in the dark
I've been counting on your time
And I wonder, and I wonder
Why it hurts to be alive

There's a fire in my heart
And it's burning all the time
And I wonder, and I wonder
How you ever sleep at night
I've been calling in the dark
I've been counting on your time
And I wonder, and I wonder
Why it hurts to be alive

Let me down and leave me hopeless
Stay around and talk it over
Let me down and leave me hopeless
Stay around and talk it over
