Lyrics
I CARRIED A TORCH FOR YOU
It was blind devotion
One lonely heart
A fool's emotion.
The vision of you made me crazy
To run through the flames
To cry out in the rain
I called out your name.
I carried a torch for you.
It was dark in my life
And you were the light I ran to.
I carried a torch for you.
You never saw this heart
That was breaking apart over you.
You're so far away.
It was my illusion.
I painted you as my lover,
Sweet confusion.
A trick of the light, it threw me
To see you all alone,
To think you were my own,
To make me fall like Rome.
