Standing in the fire
By Michelle Morris
25/11/2020

We've grown apart and
You're always away;
The kids feel the sparks,
And they're no longer okay...

So, I say we've got to talk,
But you say you've got
Nothing left to say;
I just don't know anymore,
What more I can take,
So...

I'm standing in the fire,
Can you see me burn?
I'm not trying to survive,
Just want to pause the hurt... 

Oh baby, I have tried,
To see things all your way,
But maybe now I'm tired,
I've got words to say...

So, I'm standing in the fire,
Oh, yeah, I'm standing in the fire;
The flames feels fine,
I'm gonna be just fine,
Standing in the fire... 

You walked out,
And left me to burn,
Burn, burn,
For you, yes for you;
And you never thought
I'd survive,
Never thought I'd get
Through...

But here I am,
Me and the kids,
We're doing fine;
They saw my phoenix
Rise in the afterburn... 

The ashes they flew,
Flew far away to you,
And I know that
I'll get through
Anything new...

Because...
I was standing in the fire,
And you watched me
Burn;
Never thought that I'd survive,
But I embraced the flames... 

It took away the hurt,
The hurt you gave
Always,
Oh, baby, how I tried,
To see things all your way...

But, baby, I got tired,
And my words have 
Faded away;
I'm all action now,
I have tamed these flames...

The flames feel free,
I'm doing fine now,
Standing in the fire
Where my phoenix won... 

Yeah, I've overcome it all, 
I am a phoenix now, 
No longer feel the burn, 
The flames are my best friend... 

Yeah, I'm standing in the fire,
Whenever I want to burn,
Any darkness here,
You're no longer my concern...

Yeah, I'm standing in the fire,
'Cos I'm a phoenix now,
And I burn, yes I burn, 
With my own desire... 
I burn... 
I burn... 
Yes, I burn...
I've tamed the fire...
