Kesha - Old Flames Can't Hold a Candle to You (Deconstructed Mix) lyrics

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

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

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
