Like I was trees and you were a lightning bolt
You shot me right down, lit a part of me on fire
The green of my leaves quiver for one more spark
But it makes no difference, I wasn't made to reach any higher
If it makes no difference, why did you strike nearby
If it makes no difference, why'd you keep me alight
Now there's no one to blame but the flame
Or maybe I was a house and you were a fireman
I thought I liked it warm, yet in you barged to rescue me
And as it spread and everyone left to save themselves
You did your job, you put it out just to leave
But if it was just your job, why kick my fence down
And if it was just your job, why'd you hold your ground
Till you washed out the flame
Like I was yellow wax and you were just a child
I could only melt and you could only dip right in
Stuck right on, you held your thumb and smiled
I dried and popped off and you sprinkled me back in
But if melt was all I could do, why not just leave me be
And if play wasn't all you could do, what would I now be
But at the end of the day, I was screwed from the start
Now there's no one to blame except the flame in my heart
Except the flame in my heart
The flame in my burning heart
