It was certainly not surprising
There was something going on
You could feel the heat was rising
Faster than we could have known

That something in between us
In the striking of the match
One I thought was made in heaven
But things that burn aren't meant to last

When things got hot you put it out
Quickly extinguishing the heart
When love showed up to investigate
What it found was a false alarm

This wasn't what I had envisioned
When we set off that tiny spark
With sirens off in the distance
Far from where we both now are

Some are numbly overcome
Standing too close to the flame
I tried not to become one of them
Although I feel I am too late

To me all along it was a raging fire
In which I was severely burned
But to you all it ever was my dear
Was another false alarm
