Fire

by Sonya Kitchell

on This Storm (2008)

Everything I ever did, he said was wrong
But I can't complain cause Baby you made me strong
When I wanted one thing, 'course he needed another
Child I'm tired of your refrain
Go back to your mother

He's the man you see, the face on all those magazines
The boy you dream 'bout, in your little girl dreams
But don't be fooled by the man in the mask
You'll come undone, and it's no fun so Darlin' don't ask

And you'll scream
"Fire! Fire! Fire! Fire!
He's burnin' me down!"
And you'll scream
"Fire! Fire! Fire! Fire!"
And pray no one sees you
When you're broken

Pick up the pieces, I'm alone again
With the enemy as my only friend
When I look in the mirror, that he did create
All I can feel for myself is a selfless hate

And as we danced he spun me around
But he never did quite let me hit the ground
And the ground would've been softer than his gaze
Which went right through me, as if to screw me
Then back into his nasty little haze

And I scream
"Fire! Fire! Fire! Fire!
He's burnin' me down!"
And I scream
"Fire! Fire! Fire! Fire!"
And pray no one's around

And I scream
"Fire! Fire! Fire! Fire!
He's burnin' me down!"
And I scream
"Fire! Fire! Fire! Fire!"
And pray no one sees me
When I'm broken

What more can I say
Than it hurt me
Yeah it hurt me
Ask myself each day
Was it worth it, at all

Well, I've been wrung out
I been strung out
Some would say I swung out
But I gotta ask, "Did you mean to?"
Didn't seem to
Yet you seemed to be there
Each time I happened to fall

And I scream
"Fire! Fire! Fire! Fire!
He's burnin' me down!"
And I scream
"Fire! Fire! Fire! Fire!"
And pray no one's around

And I scream
"Fire! Fire! Fire! Fire!
He's burnin' me down!"
And I scream
"Fire! Fire! Fire! Fire!"
And pray no one sees me
When I'm broken
