Light It On Fire Lyrics - Word Of Mouth - Cowboy Mouth

It's four a.m., I'm drunk and alone, 

trying to call you on a public phone. 

I wanted passion, I wanted desire. 

My heart is a flame that pains me 

if i do not light it on fire. 

I'm the perfect picture of a perfect fool. 

You're out doing what i wanted you to. 

I'm in the heartbreak hotel and there's a desk clerk for hire. 

My heart is a flame that pains me 

if i do not light it on fire. 

How can i tell you 

oh, just how it feels? 

How do you make love stay 

and how do you know if what's staying is real? 

I was the one full of whiskey and talk. 

I was the one with the skip in my walk. 

You say the truth hurts, yeah well, so does a liar. 

My heart is a flame that pains me 

if i do not light it on fire.
