Firepit Lyrics

So you remember the first time we talked in months

We called and I cried and cried

I couldn't get out the words

So I guess, here they are

I've been reading books and rhymes, reminding me of other times

Your call and all your voices, made my mistakes and choices

I know the name of every street going the wrong direction

I know the ditches I can cheat, and dare to give attention

I'm crying and everyone has left, the tears stained on my dress

You'd rather be here anyway, how did this happen in just one day

And you didn't think at all, because not once was it my fault

The wolves are howling but the ball is in their court

You don't care that I'm in the fire pit

And you kicked me in the guts to show me

who was in the wrong

And you sang a solo, every night

Just to carry on

You never had a look of doubt

So listen here, I'll sound it out

That I don't want to play pretend

Because I'll end up in the pit again

You've struck my soul a thousand times

So now you're getting more than rhymes

You lit the match and watched me burn before your eyes

Did you really have to shove me down

You wear that mask, but now I wear a crown

So they'll listen to my point of view

And see the real you, because

You don't care that I'm in the fire pit

You don't care that I'm in the fire pit

You don't care that I'm in the fire pit

And you kicked me in the guts to show me

Who was in the wrong

And you played my hands just the way you'd

Play your clarinet to every song

You never had a look of doubt

So listen here, I'll sound it out

That I don't want to play pretend

Because I'll end up in the pit again

You don't care that I'm in the fire pit

You don't care that I'm in the fire pit
