He won't set my world alight

RSS

By Don't build lies on ice cubes.

He won't set my world alight Won't douse my days in petrol and oil He won't ignite a match Send me into anguish and turmoil But he won't let the colours dance He won't paint with vibrance and glitter There won't ever be that rush of exhilerance And I won't be left alone and bitter No, he won't set my world alight With sparkles turning to fires that burn He won't leave me standing in wreckage With no safety route to discern Instead he would stand right by my side And watch someone else send fireworks to the sky He would never strip the evening of stars And I doubt he'd make me cry He would be solid. Stable and real. And he would still let me dance There wouldn't be the ups and the downs But, is that still a romance?
