  • Seven days has gone so fast,
    I really thought the pain would pass.
    It's been nearly an hour,
    Since I thought of you.

    But your not answering the phone,
    I'd settle for a busy tone,
    At least that I'd know that you're okay.
    A girl like you ain't meant to go away.
    Oh

    Now you're gone,
    There's nothing else I want.
    Now that it's over,
    There's nothing else I want.
    What have I done,
    Looks like I was wrong.
    Is everything really meant to change,
    I guess we're like water and a flame.
    Water and a flame

    I'm tired of this empty house,
    I need a drink to get me out.
    A couple more til I forget your name.

    I saw a boy that looked like you,
    I didn't know quite what to do,
    It took a power of will to break my stare.
    I realized what I wanted wasn't there.

    Now you're gone,
    There's nothing else I want.
    Now that it's over,
    There's nothing else I want.

    Is everything really meant to change,
    I guess we're like water and a flame.
    Water and a flame

    If you see me coming
    I look away, I look away
    And if your mind is made up
    I look away, I will look away

    If your worry bound
    I'm okay, I'm okay, yes I am
    All this sorrow and this pain,
    Is going to go away

    Now you're gone,
    There's nothing else I want.
    Now that it's over,
    There's nothing else I want.
    What have I done,
    Looks like I was wrong.
    Is everything really meant to change,
    I guess we're like water and a flame.
