Before the Fire Lyrics by Santigold

99¢

2016

I want it sometimes…

I never wanted much
I never complained
Only want a little love
Sometimes
I just need a little touch
A little color on a greyscale
Or I forget to inhale
Sometimes

Now I don’t even know
If you want to stay
Saw you when it all burned down
That look was on your face
Now you want to save this house
Well it’s far too late
Oh you want to be my healer
Now that I’m up in flames

But I was burned before the fire
But I was burned before the fire

I don’t have another heart
Don’t remember how to say
I don’t want you to let me down
Sometimes
I already know this part
Leave it for another day
Wish it wasn’t this hard
Sometimes

Now I don’t even know
If you want to stay
Saw you when it all burned down
That look was on your face
Now you want to save this house
Well it’s far too late
Oh you want to be my healer
Now that I’m up in flames

But I was burned before the fire
But I was burned before the fire
But I was burned before the fire
But I was burned before the fire
