Pyro
You're the fire in my soul,
Can’t keep it down, gonna burn me whole.
They said take I’d better take it slow
But while I’ve got the courage I gotta go.
Maybe we were never meant to be,
But now we just have to see...
Strike a match, and watch it burn
Up my bridges so I can’t return.
Take the ashes, put them in an urn,
Testament for later to the lesson I've learned:
Sometimes you gotta take chances,
And love's one of those complex dances,
You get burned if you mess with a flame
But that's part of the price for playing the game.
