Fire

It began as a laugh
It was simply a joke
But the fires we burn
Are the embers you stoke
So don't send me lyrics
When your fingers get burnt
You're cruel and unreasonable
And I'm misunderstood.
It's not that I don't like you
It's not that I don't care
But if you cared to listen
You'll hear that I'm scared.
The flames that enticed me
And flickered my name
Are the same ones that hurt me
And dealt me the blame.
Now you are the firefly
And I am the light
I thought I could love you
But in truth its not right
So please take your wonder,
Your charm, and your gall.
I don't want to know you,
You're a heartbreaker, that's all.
