Fire Lyrics by Trapt

Shadow Work

2020

[Verse 1]
You wanted to light it up
You wanted to know that you're alive
You wanted to set it off
Just needed something to ignite
I was the dry tinder
You couldn't help but light the match
And from the pain we learn
But not if we're holding back

[Chorus]
Don't stand too close to the fire
Unless you're gonna let it burn
Unless you're gonna let it burn
Can't help myself
Don't stand too close to the fire
Unless you're gonna let it burn
Unless you're gonna let it burn
Can't help myself

[Post-Chorus]
When it gets too hot
Just let the fire breathe
Let it burn, let it burn
When it gets too hot
Don't tame the flame in me
Let it burn, let it burn

[Verse 2]
You wanted to put me out
Reduced to ashes you can hold
Well, I cannot be bound
And I cannot be controlled
Remember the scars you wear
How they got there you don't know
The fire is everywhere
And you don't know where to go

[Chorus]
Don't stand too close to the fire
Unless you're gonna let it burn
Unless you're gonna let it burn
Can't help myself
Don't stand too close to the fire
Unless you're gonna let it burn
Unless you're gonna let it burn
Can't help myself

[Post-Chorus]
When it gets too hot
Just let the fire breathe
Let it burn, let it burn
When it gets too hot
Don't tame the flame in me
Let it burn, let it burn

[Bridge]
You can feel it all
If that's what you want
You can feel it all
If that's what you want
Is that what you want?

[Chorus]
Don't stand too close to the fire
Unless you're gonna let it burn
Unless you're gonna let it burn
Can't help myself
Don't stand too close to the fire
Unless you're gonna let it burn
Unless you're gonna let it burn
Can't help myself

[Post-Chorus]
When it gets too hot
Just let the fire breathe
Let it burn, let it burn
When it gets too hot
Don't tame the flame in me
Let it burn, let it burn
