On Fire Lyrics

I wanna say it but I just cant get the words out

The whole worlds watching now I gotta talk loud

I open up my heart's screaming but there's no sound

I gotta know when I’m out of here I have no doubts

I’m so angry the only one who can save me is me

I’m so mad but the only thing that I want is to be what I know I can be

Are you listening

I need to give it my all before the time is out

Seems like the harder I’m trying the more that I fall out

I hear the people who tell me that I am good enough

Just know you’re keeping me going even when things get rough

I can't do this on my own

But I want to

But I want to

I can't do this on my own

But I want to

But I want to

They tell me just go ahead go on and laugh it off

You know I told you I’m smiling and I’m being strong

Cause when the rain is falling it’s like I feel it all

But I still go in public they tell me stand tall

That's what I do and I’m 5 foot 6

Can’t even look you in the eye less than one thousand hits

I’m not the only one whose hope can never learn to stick

But it’s alright mamma cause my skin is thick

And now a week goes by and I'm picking it up

I get the feeling that it’s finally something they will love

And I keep dreaming that a force can push me from above

But I keep my eyes open in case I'm pulled from the rug

I can't do this on my own

But I want to

But I want to

I'm on fire

I can't do this on my own

But I want to

But I want to

Well the worlds on fire and it’s gonna burn the house now

But keep on reading the paper and turn our voice down

You tell us that we’re weak we’ll never know how

You were scrapping for pennies

And little was just plenty

But the economies steady

Back packs were always heavy

You kids made this world messy

War we were always ready

You think you can have peace

Not in this damn heat

But can you please just listen this thing we cannot cheat

I can't do this on my own

But I want to

But I want to

I'm on fire

I can't do this on my own

But I want to

But I want to
