Carpenter Mary-chapin Walking Through Fire Lyrics

Walking Through Fire Lyrics

When you set a match to your heart

 Fueling it with bitterness and doubt

 That's a blaze that, once it starts,

 No amount of tears can put out

 I know you're scared, but no one's spared

 When you play with matches

 You've got me walking through fire

 Walking through fire

 

 Maybe you've been burned by lovers

 Maybe you've been scarred by the pain

 But baby, I'm not like the others

 Drawing moths to a flame

 Spite is like a spark, crackling in the dark

 Consuming all it catches

 And you've got me walking through fire

 Walking through fire to get to you

 Walking through fire, walking through fire

 

 You can see the toll it's taking

 You can feel the faith it's shaking

 You can hear the heart it's breaking now

 

 Baby, I have burned with a fever

 I've been scorched by desire

 But baby, I am not your deceiver

 Or your eloquent liar

 Your jealous heart is tearing us apart

 And turning love to ashes

 

 You've got me walking through fire

 Walking through fire

 As the flames shoot higher

 You've got me walking through fire

 Walking
