There is someone in his past that he hasn't gotten over yet Each day's like the last, he just misses what he can't forget
It's just an empty space where something used to be Now he guards the gate, but he's lost the key So no one enters, but no one leaves There's a keeper for every flame
Thought my heart had broken, but it was just a little bruised I thought love had spoken, I guess I was just confused
Sometimes we were a fire burning out of control Sometimes we were nothing but a candle glow But it never died, baby, how I know There's a keeper for every flame
