There is someone in his past that he hasn't gotten over yet

Each day's like the last, he just misses what he can't forget

It's just an empty space where something used to be

Now he guards the gate, but he's lost the key

So no one enters, but no one leaves

There's a keeper for every flame

Bm Bm C C Em Em C C

G G C G C C D G

Thought my heart had broken, but it was just a little bruised

I thought love had spoken, I guess I was just confused

Sometimes we were a fire burning out of control

Sometimes we were nothing but a candle glow

But it never died, baby, how I know

There's a keeper for every flame
