old flames

Kesha

Downtown tonight, I saw an old friend, someone who
I used to take comfort from long before I met you
I caught a spark from his eyes of forgotten desire
With a word, or a touch, I could've rekindled that fire
But old flames can't hold a candle to you

No one can light up the night like you do
Flickering embers of love
I've known one or two
But old flames can't hold a candle to you
Oh, yeah, ooh

Sometimes at night, I think of old lovers I've known
And I remember how holding them helped me
not feel so alone
(feel so alone)
Then I feel you beside me
and even their memories are gone
Like stars in the night, lost in the sweet light of dawn

But old flames can't hold a candle to you
No one can light up the night like you do
Flickerin' embers of love
I've known one or two
But old flames can't hold a candle to you
But old flames can't hold a candle to you
Oh, yeah
