Ashes Of My Heart

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
