Lyrics for Song: Walking Through Fire
Lyrics for Album: Triple Feature [2010]
When you set a match to your heart
Fueling it with bitterness and doubt
That's a blaze 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've got me walking through fire
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've got me walking through fire
Walking through fire to get to you
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 have burned with a 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
And turning love to ashes
You've got me walking through fire
Walking through fire
As the flames shoot higher
You've got me walking through fire
Walking
