The Fire

(vrs 1)
dont touch the fire
the fools always said
dont make the mistakes
you'll only end up dead

(vrs 2)
dont touch the coals
they only can burn
so i waited in line
till id have my turn

(chorus)
you never know until you try
so dont be the one to survive
you either live or you die
and end up feeding us the lie

(vrs 3)
ive felt the burns
in degrees never known
ive got countless scars
that will never be shown

(vrs 4)
the fire burns deeper
to scald not to kill
so we're left only to touch
and believe in the thrill

(chorus)
you never know until you try
so dont be the one to survive
you either live or you die
and end up feeding us the lie
