Lyrics

When the night is raging red
From the fiery words you bring
When I begin to burn
From the metal of your ring
When I'm battered by the storm
That comes out of the blue
You make me wanna run
To anyone but you

And when I toss and turn
While next to me you lie
When I walk out to the yard
To watch the midnight sky
When I'm staring at the stars
My life in full review
I wish I'd chosen anyone
Anyone but you

Tonight you broke my heart
But who am I to kid
There's nights when it's me
Who you try to forgive

I fall asleep and dream
'Bout old flames from the past
Some were barely lit
Others faded fast
Sometimes you drive me crazy
Sometimes you make me blue
But when I ask myself
Why no one else would o
Well, they didn't light the fire
That I leapt right into
And I never wanted anyone
Never ached for anyone
No, I never could love anyone
Anyone but you
