Standing Outside The Fire

We call them cool

Those hearts who have no scars to show

The ones that never do let go

And risk the tables being turned



We call them fools

Who have to dance within the flames

Who chance the sorrow and the shame

That always comes with getting burned



But you got to be tough when consumed by desire

Cause it's not enough just to stand outside the fire



We call them strong

Those who can face this world alone

Who seem to get by on their own

Those who will never take the fall



We call them weak

Who are unable to resist

The slightest chance love might exsist

And for that forsake it all



They're so hell-bent on giving

Walking a wire

Convinced it's not living

If you stand outside the fire



Standing outside the fire

Standing outside the fire

Life is not tried, it is merely survived

If you're standing outside the fire



There's this love that is burning

Deep in my soul constantly yearning to get out of control

Wanting to glide higher and higher

I can't abide standing outside the fire



Standing outside the fire

Standing outside the fire

Life is not tried it's just merely survived

If you're standing outside the fire



Standing outside the fire

Standing outside the fire

Life is not tried, it's just merely survived

If you're standing outside the fire
