on so many lonely nights I couldn't shake her face
so good and lovely, amplifying every ache
for so long I've long to hear her knocking at my door
but the man who couldn't get over her don't live here anymore
tempted don't even start to measure how I feel
but just one kiss would open up what I've worked so hard to heal
though the wounds, they are not fresh - I still feel the sting
plucking and pulling taunt the stitching like heartstrings
she came around looking for someone I used to be
her man left her for another just like she left me
she was seeking shelter but there's none to be found
when she came around I turned her down
thoughts of her, they still throw sparks - it's hard to deny
fireflies start dancing when she touches on my mind
where there's light there must be heat, though I miss her so
poke the fire you're bound to get burned, I best leave it alone
she came around looking for someone I used to be
her man left her for another just like she left me
she was seeking shelter but there's none to be found
when she came around I turned her down
I don't know why or how but I turned her down
