Sa'Rayah - Don't Touch the Fire Lyrics

Tell me what's the use of this emotional rollercoaster
Head spinnin', stomach turned
When will we learn how to love
We take, and we take, and then we make love with no give
Sacrificing all we are while we're dying
And that's no way to live
Everybody wants to be loved
But not many really know how it feels to really trust
Don't touch the fire
Don't embrace the flame
If you get too close
You might be the blame
Your slick words can't impress me
Sweet nothings in my ear can't undress me
If you must see me before you see me
You should be free of me
Don't let me down easy
Just don't let me down
If you wanna please me
You should love me how you wanna be loved
Everybody wants to be loved
But not many really know how it feels to really trust
Don't touch the fire
Don't embrace the flame
If you get too close
You might be the blame
It's like when you want somethin' so badly that it hurts
Your energy shifted, mind is lifted
Long as it looks like it's gonna work
You're fallen
Set ablaze by the maze
Amazed by the feelin'
So vulnerable, revealing
Light-hearted and free-wheelin'
And then you see it
It's just a temporary thrill
'Cuz you still broken by the wounds
Of the past that never healed
Yet you lie there
Exchangin' mind, body, and soul
'Cuz your half met his half
But neither one of you were whole
You say, "I love you"
And that's easy to say now
Because your mind is his playground
And he's broken too
He's scarred by a mentality that derived from his youth
But you refused to face his truth
And now you're forced to face this truth
That we all want love but aren't
Healed enough to give it
Said we all need love but aren't
Healed enough to feel it
So you burn with desire
Then get burned by the liar
Now you're burned by the fire
And you seek a psychiatrist
But she can only tell you what you've
Known and haven't faced
I said he can only tell you what you've
Known and haven't faced
I said they can only tell you what you've
Known and haven't faced
That you've been seeking for love
In the wrong place
Everybody wants to be loved
But not many really know how it feels to really trust
Don't touch the fire
Don't embrace the flame
If you get too close
You might be the blame
