Don't Touch the Fire

Tell me what's the use of this emotional rollercoaster Head spinnin', stomach turned When will we learn how to love We take, and we take, and then we make love with no give Sacrificing all we are while we're dying And that's no way to live Everybody wants to be loved But not many really know how it feels to really trust Don't touch the fire Don't embrace the flame If you get too close You might be the blame Your slick words can't impress me Sweet nothings in my ear can't undress me If you must see me before you see me You should be free of me Don't let me down easy Just don't let me down If you wanna please me You should love me how you wanna be loved Everybody wants to be loved But not many really know how it feels to really trust Don't touch the fire Don't embrace the flame If you get too close You might be the blame It's like when you want somethin' so badly that it hurts Your energy shifted, mind is lifted Long as it looks like it's gonna work You're fallen Set ablaze by the maze Amazed by the feelin' So vulnerable, revealing Light-hearted and free-wheelin' And then you see it It's just a temporary thrill 'Cuz you still broken by the wounds Of the past that never healed Yet you lie there Exchangin' mind, body, and soul 'Cuz your half met his half But neither one of you were whole You say, "I love you" And that's easy to say now Because your mind is his playground And he's broken too He's scarred by a mentality that derived from his youth But you refused to face his truth And now you're forced to face this truth That we all want love but aren't Healed enough to give it Said we all need love but aren't Healed enough to feel it So you burn with desire Then get burned by the liar Now you're burned by the fire And you seek a psychiatrist But she can only tell you what you've Known and haven't faced I said he can only tell you what you've Known and haven't faced I said they can only tell you what you've Known and haven't faced That you've been seeking for love In the wrong place Everybody wants to be loved But not many really know how it feels to really trust Don't touch the fire Don't embrace the flame If you get too close You might be the blame
