I`ll never be far from home talkin` on the telephone
You told me it`s over, you made up your mind
I`m part of the life that you`re leaving behind
I`m left holding the torch and the heat from the flame
Only ease me a pain

Don`t you know how much it hurts
You took all I had and you threw it away

I`m left holding the flame, yes I am
Holding the flame once again
I`m left holding the flame, yes I am
Holding the flame once again

No matter what you say, it hurts
You didn`t had to make it worse
It wouldn`t be better as you told me yourself
Instead that you left to somebody else

Maybe I could understand you`d been staying with another man
Day isn`t long and nights can be lonely
I wasn`t there and you needed to hold me
I`m left holding the torch and the heat from the flame
Only ease me a pain

Don`t you know how much it hurts
You took all I had and you threw it away

I`m left holding the flame, yes I am
Holding the flame once again
I`m left holding the flame, yes I am
Holding the flame once again

I`ll never be far from home talkin` on the telephone
You told me it`s over, you made up your mind
I`m part of the life that you`re leaving behind
I`m left holding the torch and the heat from the flame
Only ease me a pain

Don`t you know how much it hurts
You took all I had and you threw it away

I`m left holding the flame, yes I am
holding the flame once again
I`m left holding the flame, yes I am
holding the flame once again

I`m left holding the flame, yes I am
holding the flame once again
I`m left holding the flame, yes I am
holding the flame once again
I`m left holding the flame, yes I am
