[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
