Walking Through Fire

When you set a match to your heart, fueling it with bitterness and doubt

That's the place that once it starts, no amount of tears can put out

I know you're scared, but no one's spared when you play with matches

You got me walking through fire

You got me walking through fire

Maybe you've been burned by lovers, maybe you've been scarred by the pain

But baby, I'm not like the others, drawing moths to a flame

Spite is like a spark, crackling in the dark, consuming all it catches

And you got me walking through fire

You got me walking through fire to get to you

Got me walking through fire (walking through fire)

You got me walking through fire (walking through fire)

You can see the toll it's taking, you can feel the faith it's shaking

You can hear the heart it's breaking now

Baby, I've been burned by the fever, I've been scorched by desire

But baby, I am not your deceiver or your eloquent liar

Your jealous heart is tearing us apart, turning love to ashes

When you got me walking through fire

You've got me walking through fire to get to you

Got me walking through fire

You've got me walking through fire

You've got me walking through fire (walking through fire)

You've got me walking through fire (walking through fire)

As the flames shoot higher

You got me walking through fire (through fire), walking
