I remember back then

I would come home with a bloody nose

I remember back then

I was just tyna not be alone

Tryna fit in with the Pac 10

Tossed out like a butt on the road

I didn't know how to act when

The tears came should have never left home

Cause I was afraid to smile

Because I didn't have the confidence of those guys

Hittin' every single girl I though I loved

I didn't understand why I was so different

But I put away the thoughts and I tried

Biting on my tongue when all of those guys

See me out when I'm enjoying my time

I want to give it back to em

You light me on fire

You light me on fire

You light me on fire

You light me up

You light me on fire

You light me on fire

You light me on fire

You light me up

I remember back then

Got invited to a hot spot, play a tune

I remember back then

Was still buzzin' from the talent show mid June

I didn't know it was a trap then

Caught a couple of em calling me a douche

Same cats from the Pac 10

I didn't let it go and crack my mood

Cause I wasn't afraid to smile

Because I built up the confidence of those guys

Hittin' every single girl they thought they loved

I bet they don't know it to this day

But I put away the thoughts of fitting in

Strived to always be the one who's different

Guys, when you see me out enjoying my time

Don't be afraid, come say "Hi"

You light me on fire

You light me on fire

You light me on fire

You light me up

You light me on fire (light em up light em up)

You light me on fire (light em up light em up)

You light me on fire (light em up light em up)

You light me up

Nah I ain't gonna stand for a bully

Put em up if you wanna get gully

But the best revenge's to sit and watch from a far

Get fit, stay lit, while they get chubby

See em out like an old dirty bar rag

Same bar? Same town? So sad

Hanging with the same clique doing nothing with their lives

While you've been out making big moves buzzing

Back then I couldn't see it pays to be the kid who didn't get accepted at all

Stay head down, walk tall, think big, not small

Let em give you motivation for something

And put that black sheep fist up, love it

Take that and rewind it back

And do it all the same

They're gonna know your name

And that's truth

You light me on fire

You light me on fire

You light me on fire

You light me up

You light me on fire (light em up light em up)

You light me on fire (light em up light em up)

You light me on fire (light em up light em up)

You light me up
