the flame Lyrics

Like I was trees and you were a lightning bolt

You shot me right down, lit a part of me on fire

The green of my leaves quiver for one more spark

But it makes no difference, I wasn't made to reach any higher

If it makes no difference, why did you strike nearby

If it makes no difference, why'd you keep me alight

Now there's no one to blame but the flame

Or maybe I was a house and you were a fireman

I thought I liked it warm, yet in you barged to rescue me

And as it spread and everyone left to save themselves

You did your job, you put it out just to leave

But if it was just your job, why kick my fence down

And if it was just your job, why'd you hold your ground

Till you washed out the flame

Like I was yellow wax and you were just a child

I could only melt and you could only dip right in

Stuck right on, you held your thumb and smiled

I dried and popped off and you sprinkled me back in

But if melt was all I could do, why not just leave me be

And if play wasn't all you could do, what would I now be

But at the end of the day, I was screwed from the start

Now there's no one to blame except the flame in my heart

Except the flame in my heart

The flame in my burning heart
