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
