"Old Flames (Can't Hold A Candle To You) (Deconstructed Mix)" lyrics - KESHA

Downtown tonight
I saw an old friend
Someone who I use to take comfort from long before I met you
I saw a spark in his eyes of forgotten desire
With a word, or a touch, I could've rekindled that fire

[Chorus:]
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

Sometimes at night, I think of old lovers I've known
Remember 'em holding them helps me not feel so alone
And I feel you beside me
And even their memories are gone like stars in the night
Lost in the sweet light of dawn

[Chorus:]
But old flames can't hold a candle to you
No one can light up the night like you do
Flickering embers of love
Flickering embers of love, I've known one or two
Old flames can't hold a candle to you, mmm
