One step front, three steps back Breaking this wall of fire is not worth scorching their knuckles Closer they get, more timber you pick All they ever saw were silhouttes And all they ever tasted were smoke And they never got to feel your heat And they never heard you call their names again Everyone gets tired of your antics So why would they cross the bridge you burn? They left And they gave up on you.

Can't put out this fire
One step front, three steps back Breaking this wall of fire is not worth scorching their knuckles Closer they get, more timber you pick All they ever saw were silhouttes And all they ever tasted were smoke And they never got to feel your heat And they never heard you call their names again Everyone gets tired of your antics So why would they cross the bridge you burn? They left And they gave up on you.
maybe you gave up on yourself.
