Writing words and they are fading
She's the flame, and she is burning
I'll just stand here cursing
I am alone, want to be by myself
Better off without anybody else
But I am not near to where I was
I have drowned in the floods
Chorus:
And I'm like a fire
I've burnt me out
I'm like a fire
I've burned on down
And in a sense, I'm adapting
I'm freeing and unwrapping
But she's the shell and she's resisting
I'll just stand here missing
I am alone, want to be by myself
Better off without anybody else
And I will learn to deal with the pain
I have drowned in the rain
Chorus:
And I'm like a fire
I've burnt me out
I'm like a fire
I've burned on down
I've burnt me down to ash
I don't think that I can wash
My stains away in dirty water
She's the army and I haven't fought her
I've burnt me down to cinders
Charred and broken splinters
And I am like a fire
I freeze in lonely winters
Chorus:
And I'm like a fire
I've burnt me out
I'm like a fire
I've burned on down
I'm like a fire
I've flooded me out
I'm like a fire
I've burned on out
