I closed myself off from love,
Because I didn't need the pain.
These feelings can either make or break you,
Tearing you apart or healing the scars.

But something happened,
That changed my mind forever,
Something that took a dead flower,
And made it bloom into the most beautiful sight.

My heart beats a little bit faster,
When I see you just up ahead,
I always look away and tell myself it's fake,
There's no way I'll let love destroy me.

I think I'm falling in love with the fire,
But I know if I get to close,
It'll burn me mercilessly,
Don't touch the flames.

They say I'm crazy,
But I don't care what they say,
It's like he's pulling down the walls,
Around my heart.

It feels like gravity is pulling us together,
I'm not going to fight this feeling,
Let's watch it grow like plants,
Waiting to get closer.

Feel the heat of passion,
Nature and Fire were never meant to mix,
But we'll make this work,
We'll make it bolder than anything.

Some say it's a disaster waiting to happen,
I couldn't disagree more,
I've never been so happy in my life,
I feel like I'm floating!

It feels like we'll never fall,
Always be here,
Nothing could ever happen...
It's perfect, meant to be!

...ah, you weren't supposed to fall that hard,
You weren't supposed to ruin it,
With your blood,
My love is what killed you, isn't it?

It's burning down,
The embers are falling beneath the earth,
Passion going up in smoke,
"Until death do us part."

Love is what brings people together,
It's what tears them apart,
Leaves a hole,
That nobody but you can fill again.

There's a second chance,
A chance for life,
A way for your eyes to open,
The light returning to your face.

Love is forever,
It can pursue through even death itself,
So let's let this city burn,
And lose ourselves ... together.
