Go Ahead.... Light the Flame
Words to be given
Promises you can't take back
They used to be so minor
So miniscule
But now they take such press
We say them
When we know we'll never let go
We say them fearfully
Because it's a risk you know....
The person the words are said to
Might never feel the same
That person speaking
Could be readying themselves to burn in their endless flame
They started with a match
The words they can't take back
Either the flame engulfs them
Or they live on breathing
A million feellings
These words can bring
Easy to say
But not easy to mean
And if such a risk is risked to early, too young,
What could it mean?
The dancing blue curves
Take light too easily
Both are at risk
Neither is safe
There is not a win win
Not in this game
The one way out
Not many can take
These words can enlighten
As much as bring hate
