I'm burnin' the letters that I've kept from time to time
And I waited to see if she would call
I know that what she's doing's gonna make me lose my mind
But she's gone ahead and done it after all yes she's gone ahead and done it after all
The picture that she gave me makes the flame burn high
For I just can't stand to see them on the wall
I told them that she would never listen to his lies
But she's gone ahead and done it after all yes she's gone ahead and done it after all
The tears I shed are from the smoke that fills the room
I guess it's best that I forget about that call
I said I'd never cry but if that smoke don't clear out soon
Well I've gone ahead and done it after all yes I've gone ahead and done it after all
The flame has just burned out like her love for me
But is that footsteps that I hear down the hall
Now in her arms I know that's where I'll always be
For she said she couldn't do it after all that her love was just for me after all
