She says it's been so long she can't remember when   The mention of his name didn't make her feel again   That everything is possible and everyday a brand new start   Yea love's somethin' powerful when it finds a willin' heart      Sometimes it's a fire burnin' out of control   Sometimes it's a candle burnin' long and low   All these years she never let it go   There's a keeper for every flame      There was 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      I 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 burnin' out of control   Sometimes we were nothin' but a candle glow   But it never died baby and how I know   There's a keeper for every flame
