I carefully conducted a plan to leave me faultless
I watched it from the sidelines
I watched it from the sidelines

I learned to keep my distance, the path of least resistance
But every time I faltered
I chose to go back under

But this is not a love song, I wrote too many love songs
I always got one part wrong
I always got one part

Oh, she’s a firestarter
The match to my desire
I never really noticed
I never really know
What is it I require
I step back from the fire
I learned to keep my distance, the path of least resistance

But this is not a love song, I wrote too many love songs
I always got one part wrong
I always got one part

Oh, she’s a firestarter
The match to my desire
I never really noticed
I never really know
What is it I require
I step back from the fire
I hope I don’t get burned
I hope I don’t get burned
