Nobody told me 
Every moment without you would seem so long 
I get so lonely 
And the nights have been so cold since you've been gone 
Did I go and make belive the way you touched me 
Was it real or just a game my mind was playing, 
Tell me 

Was it the flame of love 
Or was it just my imagination 
Was it the flame of love 
Or an act of desperation 

It's amazing 
How a love can feel so good then fade away 
And replacing you with someone else is a game my heart won't play 
Cause I know I'll never feel the heat that's in your soul 
But I can't remember how I lost complete control 
Tell me 

Was it the flame of love 
Or was it just my imagination 
Was it the flame of love 
Or an act of desperation 

How could I know you'd ever go 
Taking my dreams away with you 
You lead me along 
You did me wrong 
I can't go on now, baby 

Was it the flame of love 
Or was it just my imagination 
Was it the flame of love 
Or an act of desperation
