I am this burning thing
Living on it's own breeze.
I sing my own song.
I live how I please.

When you see me coming.
Don't run nor flee.
I can guarantee your safety with me.
(you can trust us)

Be careful now.
Don't stray too close.
My fire burns.
(will you stay with us?)

My embers call.
They whisper and flicker.
With excitement and rush.
(stay with us)

Don't listen to them.
You can't trust them.
They are all ash and fluff.
(stay with us)

And when I go.
Do not simmer and sway as I do.
Do not listen to the whispers as they do.
Because that is forbidden.
Just like me.
(Just like me)

**
The campfire's out but it still burns
When I touch you, knowing
your warmth is for someone else.

We never broke up
We just sort of broke down
I was wearing my shame
Instead of my crown
You spat out the ashes
That tasted like flame
And it hurt cause it burnt
When you said my name
Now there’s time for regret
And moments for tears
The mistakes I made
Will stay with me for years
But you’re nothing royal
No knight sent for me
You’re more like a dragon
You like when I bleed
And though I’m no princess
I’ll keep my head high
Inside I slay dragons
And you’re just a guy.

Like a burning candle,
I melt.
Disappear right before your eyes.
Gone before you even notice.
                              That flicker you see
                                  The moment of hesitation
      Is me almost not wanting to leave
                 Almost
                                            I'll burn you
 Within a few seconds
                                       I'll burn down myself
     Within another
             Touch me and
                                          All you'll feel is pain
                                                            ­       I'm cold at first
                   But only because I'm so dangerous
                I'll hurt you,
Which is something I just don't want to do.
