Fire Lyrics
[Intro]
Ye-ee-ah, ye-ee-ah
[Verse 1]
You made up your mind
Right before the sound can move softly from your lips
You leave behind
A choice which once before you thought you could not resist
[Pre-Chorus]
You give what you have when you
Decide that you keep burning like fire
It's burning you down
[Chorus]
Sometimes they say this should feel something like fire
'Til it burns you and you can't
No, you can't remain the same
Stay the same, stay the same, stay the same
[Post-Chorus]
I-I can't change
[Verse 2]
You're losing your light
Everything that was yours just does not exist
So don't even try to say
Sorry for the things in life that you might have missed
Ye-ee-ah, ye-ee-ah
[Verse 1]
You made up your mind
Right before the sound can move softly from your lips
You leave behind
A choice which once before you thought you could not resist
[Pre-Chorus]
You give what you have when you
Decide that you keep burning like fire
It's burning you down
[Chorus]
Sometimes they say this should feel something like fire
'Til it burns you and you can't
No, you can't remain the same
Stay the same, stay the same, stay the same
[Post-Chorus]
I-I can't change
[Verse 2]
You're losing your light
Everything that was yours just does not exist
So don't even try to say
Sorry for the things in life that you might have missed
[Pre-Chorus]
You give what you have when you
Decide that you keep burning like fire
It's burning you down
[Chorus]
Sometimes they say this should feel something like fire
'Til it burns you and you can't
No, you can't remain the same
Stay the same, although you know
They say this should feel something like fire
[Post-Chorus]
No, I can't change
[Bridge]
Do what you wanna do
Keep building it higher, keep burning it down
You lose who you are when you
Keep burning like fire, like it's all around
What do you have to prove? I'll die for you
Keep burning like fire, it's burning you down
[Chorus]
Sometimes they say this should feel something like fire
'Til it burns you and you can't
No, you can't remain the same
Stay the same, although you know
They say this should feel something like fire
'Til it burns you and you can't
No, you can't remain the same
Stay the same, stay the same, stay the same
You give what you have when you
Decide that you keep burning like fire
It's burning you down
[Chorus]
Sometimes they say this should feel something like fire
'Til it burns you and you can't
No, you can't remain the same
Stay the same, although you know
They say this should feel something like fire
[Post-Chorus]
No, I can't change
[Bridge]
Do what you wanna do
Keep building it higher, keep burning it down
You lose who you are when you
Keep burning like fire, like it's all around
What do you have to prove? I'll die for you
Keep burning like fire, it's burning you down
[Chorus]
Sometimes they say this should feel something like fire
'Til it burns you and you can't
No, you can't remain the same
Stay the same, although you know
They say this should feel something like fire
'Til it burns you and you can't
No, you can't remain the same
Stay the same, stay the same, stay the same
About
Genius Annotation
Kellin Quinn is a known advocate of the anti-suicide movement. In “Fire” he depicts a troubled soul contemplating taking their own life. Unlike the other songs on the record, Sleeping With Sirens conveys this message over a smooth motivational instrumental.
Kellin’s religious beliefs are obvious, and many Christians believe that suicide is the work of the Devil. If you take your own life you will burn in hell. Kellin takes this metaphor and transposes it into a anti-suicide anthem.
