The Fire

Why are we sitting in the silence?
I feel something caught in your eyes, I can't hear
You've been so quietly violent
I fear there's been bloodshed between both yours ears

Maybe she's tired of angels
Winters that promise her leaves
Lately, she's cherished her paleness
Maybe she doesn't want peace

So I ran through the fire and I held out my hand
I'm not here to save you, I don't have a plan
You see, love isn't rescue, it's someone to lose
My feet burn, but dear, now I'm in this with you

Throw out the plants I devise
An' my boat just, touched onto the shore from the sea
Chained up and locked in tower, she locked down
Said boy, "I don't need to be freed"

Spare me your happier ending
I want to feel everything
The branches are bare if there's love in the wind
Let it grow the leaves in the spring

So I ran through the fire and I held out my hand
I'm not here to save you, I don't have a plan
You see, love isn't rescue, it's someone to lose
My feet burn, but dear, now I'm in this with you

I know there's danger in all this
'Cause safety's just love for a fool
You'll be my reason to carry on
But I need you to know we might lose

So I ran through the fire and I held out my hand
I'm not here to save you, I don't have a plan
You see, love isn't rescue, it's someone to lose
My feet burn, but dear, now I'm in this with you

My feet burn, but dear, I still made it to you
