Figtin' The Fire

She says he's just a friend
And I believe that's all they've been
Since their hearts went separate ways
She says with honesty
That she's been true to me
And that's the way it's gonna stay
Though she tries not to show it
Whenever he walks by
I can tell by a distant glow in her eyes
She's still fighting the fire
Dodging desires
Trying to put out an old memory
She starts feeding the flame
I start praying for rain
Hoping love won't make her out a liar
Oh, I've got to keep her fighting the fire
Well, just the other night
He must have crossed her mind
'Cause she called me by his name
When she broke down and cried
I just sat there by her side
Not knowing what to say
'Cause words don't come easy
When you're living with the past
She's afraid to talk
And I'm afraid to ask
She's been fighting the fire
Dodging desires
Trying to put out an old memory
She starts feeding the flame
I start praying for rain
Hoping love won't make her out a liar
Oh, I've got to keep her fighting the fire
