There was a break in time and everyone forgot to know your name
There was a long, long line of enemies and family to blame
But now the time is on your side
But now the fire's in your mind

You played the mystery when our romance was drinking way downtown
You played the comedy and didn't really know me then or now
It was a physical delight
But that didn't keep me warm at night

There was a time I wanted you
There was a time I wanted you
Everything about you made me fear that once without you I'd turn blue
There was a time I wanted you
There was a time I wanted you

There was a suited man with apathy and villainous intent
Offers an ultimatum, saying "Get with me or go get bent"
There was a curse upon your prime
You traded the fire in your mind

There was a time I wanted you
There was a time I wanted you
Everything about you made me fear that once without you I'd turn blue
There was a time I wanted you
There was a time I wanted you
Then there's a time I saw right through
