Burn, Don't Freeze

[Verse 1]

I'd (When you saw me on that first day)

Set your heart on fire

Arson is no way (Said I'd blossom under your care)

To make a love burn brighter

Always thought that the devil was the only one (Wrap me up tight inside your wing)

Who knew the ins and outs of the ways of love

So I sold off my heart to see how this would end (Is it safe now, is it safe to breathe?)

Now I can't move an inch for fear it will begin

(Force my eyes open)

You come in between (Now who has changed?)

Me and the darkness, please (You look different)

Don't you ever leave (So different today)

[Chorus]

Holding your eyes in the hardest stare (Backwards, forwards)

Running around like you wanted me there (Backwards, going out of my mind)

Lookin' at me like I'm the hottest in town (Backwards, forwards)

Then turning your back when you're movin' around (Backwards, forwards spinning way off time)

I ain't gonna listen to you no more (Fire to water)

Breakin' outta this place, throwin' open the door (Fire, baby, baby, putting me out)

Use me up just to fan the flame (Fire to water)

But you'll be sorry as I'm walkin' away (Fire, baby, baby's putting me out)

[Verse 2]

You're the truest light I've known (I'm the one who decides who I am)

Someday, I'll learn, don't need your fuel to burn (I'm the one who will shed this old skin)

Always thought that hell was the only place (I force my eyes open, and now who has changed?)

Hot enough to melt our heart into a locked embrace

There's something so safe about a lack of air (I feel different, so different today)

Only way to make sure that you'll always be there

[Chorus]

Holding your eyes in the hardest stare (Backwards, forwards)

Running around like you wanted me there (Backwards, going out of my mind)

Lookin' at me like I'm the hottest in town (Backwards, forwards)

Then turning your back when you're movin' around (Backwards, forwards spinning way off time)

I ain't gonna listen to you no more (Fire to water)

Breakin' outta this place, throwin' open the door (Fire, baby, baby's putting me out)

Use me up just to fan the flame (Fire to water)

But you'll be sorry as I'm walkin' away (Fire, baby, baby's putting me out)

[Bridge]

(I'm gone)

We're going underground (I'm gone)

That's where these hearts are found

Devil spins this world around (I'm gone)

Only love can save us now

Do you wanna go underground? (I'm gone)

Way down in underground

(Don't you wanna?)

Did you really change your mind?

(Ain't you gonna?)

Was this fire way too bright?

(Don't you wanna?)

Could this be your only crime?

(Ain't you gonna?)

Did you really change your mind?

[Chorus]

Holding your eyes in the hardest stare (Backwards, forwards)

Running around like you wanted me there (Backwards, going out of my mind)

Lookin' at me like I'm the hottest in town (Backwards, forwards)

Then turning your back when you're movin' around (Backwards, forwards spinning way off time)

I ain't gonna listen to you no more (Fire to water)

Breakin' outta this place, throwin' open the door (Fire, baby, baby, putting me out)

Use me up just to fan the flame (Fire to water)

But you'll be sorry as I'm walkin' away (Fire, baby, baby, putting me out)
