You try to hold me down so I became a soldier
Built up all theses walls
And now I'm climbing over
Those nasty bees are tempting me
Oh Lord! but I ain't going back
You take me for a fool (fool),
That doesn't make me foolish
Told me I was wrong (wrong)
Passion made you ruthless
Manipulate, It's just too late
Oh lord! 'cause I ain't going back no more
Your fueling of the flames
Gonna show you what I'm made of
Breakin' every chain that you put on me
You thought I wouldn't change
But I grew on you
Cause I will never be what you wanted
This fire (this fire), this fire
Is keeping me alive
Making me believe I couldn't do without you
Make it hard to leave
You think It's all about you
You know I'll never be what you wanted
This fire (this fire), this fire
I tried to get this Weight
off of my shoulders
Built up all my strength
I'm finally taking over
Complicate, I don't appreciate
Oh lord! 'cause I ain't going back no more
Your fueling of the flames
Gonna show you what I'm made of
Breakin' every chain that you put on me
You thought I wouldn't change
But I grew on you
Cause I will never be what you wanted
This fire (this fire), this fire
Is keeping me alive
Making me believe I couldn't do without you
Make it hard to leave
You think It's all about you
You know I'll never be what you wanted
This fire (this fire), this fire
Is keeping me alive
Keeping me alive
Keeping me alive
This fire (this fire),
This fire (Is keeping me alive)
Breakin' me, shakin' me, shapin' me
Into what I never wanted, oh
Breakin' me, shakin' me makin' my beatin
heart a little stronger
Stronger, strong baby
Breakin' every chain that you put on me
You thought I wouldn't change
But I grew on you
I will never be what you wanted
This fire (this fire), this fire
Is keeping me alive
Breakin' every chain that you put on me
You thought I wouldn't change
But I grew on you
Cause I would never be what you wanted
This fire (this fire), this fire
Is keeping me alive
Making me believe I couldn't do without you
Make it hard to leave
You think It's all about you
You know I'll never be what you wanted
This fire (this fire), this fire
Is keeping me alive
Keeping me alive, keeping me alive
This fire (this fire), this fire
Is keeping me alive
