It wasn't you who lit the flame
It was burning long before you came
I've always had that tiny spark
And it ignites when I'm in the dark
The years have tried to douse me
Blinded by the past I could barely see
But still somehow the fire never went out
Within the walls of my heart, an eternal drout
You came along with kindness gently stoking the blaze
Your tenderness and loyalty found a way through the maze
You helped to brighten the tangles and twists of my heart
You didn't start the fire, but you reached every burning part
