"Down in flames" by Mindy Smith

[nejifer2003]

I don't usually take chances,
Most would easily agree.
Something in your eyes
Is saying you can ease my heartache.
I have a hurting inside

And I know you're just a stranger,
If you can't, I'll understand.
There's too many times I've lost
My chance to talk with an angel,
Too many to count.

*And life's so hard.
It's the little things that seem to be getting me today,
Yeah, life's so hard,
But I'm doing what I can, not to be getting down,
While I'm going down in flames,
Going down in flames.*

And I would tell you I am happy
If I wasn't so damn sad,
And the loneliness both
Overwhelms and keeps me empty;
That's how it's been for a while.

*repeat chorus*

I need some direction.
I need someone to listen,
Someone to tell me they know that...

Life's so hard.
It's the little things that seem to be saving me today,
And life's so hard,
And I'm doing what I can,
And I'm doing what I can,
And I'm doing what I can,
I'm putting out the flames.
