[Verse 1]
If the burdens always turn into scars, will we ever heal?
We pretend that we are not who we are like the pain's not real
I've learned to bottle up and hide my emotions in hopes you leave
So go ahead and try to reignite what you've stolen - you've broken me

[Pre-Chorus]
I've got nothin' else to lose
Your pride is just disguisin' the abused (th-th-the abused)
I'vе got nothin' else to prove
But I'm hiding from thе lion that left me bruised
Beaten down - I need the truth

[Chorus]
You said that you had loved me - a helpless little lie
Swore it on your blood, but you didn't even try
I don't wanna keep on runnin', the hurt just turns to numbin'
I'll make you see
That now the fire burns in me (Oh-oh-oh-oh)
Now the fire burns in me (Oh-oh-oh-oh)

[Verse 2]
You think you understand me, but how could I be happy
When I don't have a family because of you?
Now you wonder why I'm broken
If only you had noticed
Before you left me hopeless
Now I'm begging you
I'll bottle up and hide my emotions to save my soul
Now you can only watch as the fire burns ice cold
[Pre-Chorus]
I've got nothin' else to lose
Your pride is just disguisin' the abused (th-th-the abused)
I've got nothin' else to prove
But I'm hiding from the lion that left me bruised
Beaten down - I need the truth

[Chorus]
You said that you had loved me - a helpless little lie
Swore it on your blood, but you didn't even try
I don't wanna keep on runnin', the hurt just turns to numbin'
I'll make you see
That now the fire burns in me (Oh-oh-oh-oh)
Now the fire burns in me (Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh)
Now the fire burns in me (Oh-oh-oh-oh)

[Bridge]
Look in my heart - you'll only hear the screams
You say I'll never be alone; you stitched my soul
And now the love can never enter the seams
Look at my scars, I will always fear what I've seen
You know I'll never feel at home
A driftin' soul that found he couldn't ever treasure his dreams

[Chorus]
You said that you had loved me - a helpless little lie
Swore it on your blood, but you didn't even try
I don't wanna keep on runnin', the hurt just turns to numbin'
I'll make you see
That now the fire burns in me! (Oh-oh-oh-oh)
Now the fire burns in me (Oh-oh-oh-oh)
[Outro]
Now the fire burns in me!
Fire burns inside of me!
Through the smoke and screams!
I can barely breathe!
While the fire burns in me!
