When you set a match to your heart

Fueling it with bitterness and doubt

That's a blaze that, once it starts,

No amount of tears can put out

I know you're scared, but no one's spared

When you play with matches

You've got me walking through fire

Walking through fire



Maybe you've been burned by lovers

Maybe you've been scarred by the pain

But baby, I'm not like the others

Drawing moths to a flame

Spite is like a spark, crackling in the dark

Consuming all it catches

And you've got me walking through fire

Walking through fire to get to you

Walking through fire, walking through fire



You can see the toll it's taking

You can feel the faith it's shaking

You can hear the heart it's breaking now



Baby, I have burned with a fever

I've been scorched by desire

But baby, I am not your deceiver

Or your eloquent liar

Your jealous heart is tearing us apart

And turning love to ashes



You've got me walking through fire

Walking through fire

As the flames shoot higher

You've got me walking through fire

Walking
