They told me not to play with fire Told me that it was dangerous; A mistake to make if I decided upon it I told them not to worry I watched the flame grow Dancing around to the music Flickering to the sound The sound of its heartbeat One day, the fire grew larger This time, it no longer danced or flickered It only destroyed Bringing everything and everyone down They told me not to play with fire They told me it would only lead to danger I never listened I should have listened.

Fire
They told me not to play with fire Told me that it was dangerous; A mistake to make if I decided upon it I told them not to worry I watched the flame grow Dancing around to the music Flickering to the sound The sound of its heartbeat One day, the fire grew larger This time, it no longer danced or flickered It only destroyed Bringing everything and everyone down They told me not to play with fire They told me it would only lead to danger I never listened I should have listened.
