Lyrics

The Night My Heart Caught Fire

By Nick Justice

Didn’t know how good I had it till you walk away
The lie became the truth and the night became the day
The changes I commanded left me broken dreams
The love I demanded well it just ran out of steam

If I could only give you a reason why I act so desperately
The midnight hours got me high on the wire
That was the night my heart caught fire

Hear your friends talk about me whisper unkind words
I can tell by the pain in your eyes it was left unheard
Remember when we were younger our lives were so carefree
Filled with so much promise we let it all be

If I could only give you a reason why I act so foolishly
The midnight hours got me high on the wire
That was the night my heart caught fire

Remember when we were younger our lives were so carefree
Filled with so much promise we let it all be
We live the life fandango discovered our mystery
Then we just left it behind to die in its misery

If I could only give you a reason
Why I act so carelessly
The midnight hours got me high on the wire
That was the night my heart caught fire
That was the night my heart caught fire
