Lyrics

Firework

Do you ever feel like a plastic bag

Drifting through the wind, wanting to start again?

Do you ever feel, feel so paper-thin

Like a house of cards, one blow from caving in?

Do you ever feel already buried deep?

Six feet under scream, no one hears a thing

Do you know that there's still a chance for you?

'Cause there's a spark in you

You just gotta ignite the light and let it shine

Just own the night like the Fourth of July

Baby, you're a firework

Come on, show 'em what you're worth

Make 'em go "Oh, oh, oh"

As you shoot across the sky-y-y

Baby, you're a firework

Come on, let your colors burst

Make 'em go "Ooh, oh, oh"

You're gonna leave 'em fallin' down

You don't have to feel like a waste of space

You're original, cannot be replaced

If you only knew what the future holds

After a hurricane comes a rainbow

Maybe the reason why all your doors are closed

So you can open one, leads to a perfect road

Like a lightning bolt, your heart will blow

And when it's time, you'll know

You gotta ignite the light and let it shine

Just own the night like the Fourth of July

Baby, you're a firework

Come on, show 'em what you're worth

Make 'em go "Oh, oh, oh"

You're gonna leave 'em, oh, oh, oh

Baby, you're a firework

Come on, show 'em what you're worth

Baby, you're a firework

Come on, show 'em, come on, show 'em, babe

Come on, show 'em

Boom, boom, boom

Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon

Baby, boom, boom, boom

Brighter than the moon, moon, moon

You're a firework

Show 'em what you're worth

Baby, you're a firework

Come on, show 'em what you're worth, hey

Baby, you're a firework

Come on and show 'em what you're worth

Make 'em go "Boom, boom, boom"

Just make 'em go "Boom, boom, boom"

Baby, you're a firework

You're a firework

Baby, you're a firework

Baby, you're a firework

You're a firework
