I'll never be far from home talkin' on the telephone   You told me it's over, you made up your mind   I'm part of the life that you're leaving behind   I'm left holding the torch and the heat from the flame   Only ease me a pain      Don't you know how much it hurts   You took all I had and you threw it away      I'm left holding the flame, yes I am   Holding the flame once again   I'm left holding the flame, yes I am   Holding the flame once again      No matter what you say, it hurts   You didn't had to make it worse   It wouldn't be better as you told me yourself   Instead that you left to somebody else      Maybe I could understand you'd been staying with another man   Day isn't long and nights can be lonely   I wasn't there and you needed to hold me   I'm left holding the torch and the heat from the flame   Only ease me a pain      Don't you know how much it hurts   You took all I had and you threw it away      I'm left holding the flame, yes I am   Holding the flame once again   I'm left holding the flame, yes I am   Holding the flame once again      I'll never be far from home talkin' on the telephone   You told me it's over, you made up your mind   I'm part of the life that you're leaving behind   I'm left holding the torch and the heat from the flame   Only ease me a pain      Don't you know how much it hurts   You took all I had and you threw it away      I'm left holding the flame, yes I am   holding the flame once again   I'm left holding the flame, yes I am   holding the flame once again      I'm left holding the flame, yes I am   holding the flame once again   I'm left holding the flame, yes I am   holding the flame once again   I'm left holding the flame, yes I am
