This Fire

I thought he'd love me forever

How forever is easily said

Oh, how love is like liquid

Liquid over my head.

All I wanted was to love him

So I gave him my heart.

The first thing I learned about love is

Things break when you tear them apart.

Will you love me when I'm angry

Will you bring me my spirit when my soul is dry

Will you give me your forever

Will you lay down in this fire?

So my dear are you lonely?

Or are you just the lonely type?

The ones who cry with their lovers

The kind who love out of spite.

Will you love me when I'm angry

Will you bring me my spirit when my soul is dry

Will you give me your forever

Will you lay down in this fire?

I'm not going to ever take away

From the person you're trying to be

So you can stay right there inside yourself

I know everyone wants to be free

On the night my lover left me

I did not beg his stay

Watched a paper bag trying to jump a chainlink fence

And I knew he was just blowing away

Will you love me when I'm angry

Will you bring me my spirit when my soul is dry

Will you give me your forever

Will you lay down in this fire?
