Can't Tame a Fire

Dan Tyminski Dan Tyminski

I can talk my way out of trouble with a smoke and a smile
But she dealt me a handful and played along for awhile
But when I woke up to goodbye, coffee black with pain
She left me she found me half empty again

I ran for a remedy
Whatever fit the bill and I followed the
Script closely whiskey, women, and pills
Still the heart ache lingers on as I run myself down
'Cause you can't tame a fire you gotta let it burn out

Sometimes there ain't better way around
Everyone got something to say to how to make the flame go down
But there all the same as me in secret filled with doubt
'Cause you can't tame a fire you gotta let it burn out

And here I am living backwards chained to the past
Days spent running through memories and old photographs and all the
Colors and majestic, pale yellow and blues
I've gotta let em all go to forget about you

But there all the same as me in secret filled with
Doubt, oh you can't tame a fire, you gotta let it burn out
No, you can't tame a fire, you gotta let it burn out
