14. Another night slowly closes in, And I feel so
lonely - Touching heat freezing on my skin, I
pretend you still hold me - I'm going crazy,
I'm losing sleep - I'm in too far, I'm in way
too deep over you - I can't believe you're
gone – (C.A) You were the first, you'll be the
last - Wherever you go, I'll be with you -
Whatever you want, I'll give it to you -
Whenever you need someone to lay your
heart and head-upon - Remember: after the
fire, after all the rain, I will be the flame (2)
