Playing With Fire
I am drowning in a sea of my own dreams.
Every night they haunt my sleep, but I never know what they mean.
I can try to run, but they'll chase me like a shadow.
You took the sun and left me with nothing but cold.
I didn't know this was a battle you wanted to fight.
I want to know, was it really worth it just prove you were right?
I guess what they say has to be true: "You live and you learn."
Next time i play with fire I won't get burned.
Going from place to place always singing a different song.
Life's not easy to live when you never know where you belong.
I can try to hide, but I'll always end up found.
Just let me cry and watch my pain hit the ground.
I didn't know this was a battle you wanted to fight.
I want to know, was it really worth it just prove you were right?
I guess what they say has to be true: "You live and you learn."
Next time i play with fire I won't get burned.
I can still see that night every time I close my eyes
Everything was hanging by a thread and you cut right through it as you said you were leaving.
Guess forever means nothing.
I didn't know this was a battle you wanted me to lose.
I guess you're gone and it's over now, I just wish I knew.
