The Fire Lyrics

Why are we sitting in 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 your 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 plans I devised, then

My boat just touched onto the shore from the sea

Chained up, and locked in a tower

She looked 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 with the leaves into 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
