Down In The Flames

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

And 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

And life's so hard

It's the little things that seem to be getting me today

And 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

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

Yeah, I'm doing what I can

Hey, I'm doing what I can

I'm putting out

Yeah, putting out the flames
