The Flame

Were the red flags even really that red?

I was calling danger, was it all in my head?

I said I wanted love, but only if it's perfect

But nobody's enough if you never put the work in

Maybe I've been chasing flowers

Running from all the rain

Maybe I'm a goddamn coward

Only got myself to blame

Got a little too good at making up excuses

Lying to myself but the truth is

Maybe I been chasing fire

When I should be chasing the flame

Every bit of magic starts with a spark

I should be more gentle with somebody's heart

Ain't we all just human?

Don't know what we're doin'

Hoping our true colors will find each other in the dark

Maybe I've been chasing flowers

Running from all the rain

Maybe I'm a goddamn coward

Only got myself to blame

Got a little too good at making up excuses

Lying to myself but the truth is

Maybe I been chasing fire

When I should be chasing the flame

I said I wanted love, but only if it's perfect

Who's gonna be enough when I never put the work in?

Maybe I've been chasing flowers

Running from all the rain

Maybe I'm a goddamn coward

Only got myself to blame

Got a little too good at making up excuses

Lying to myself but the truth is

Maybe I been chasing fire

When I should be, I should be, I should be chasing the

Flame

The flame
