about

So, this song was actually written in 2012, before I wrote the "One Room" EP, It's about my first ever relationship, the other party cheated & I became bitter about it.
I now regret being so angry about it, because really, I'm in a much better place, thanks to having been removed from that environment.

& now days, I'm a much better judge of character & I don't get in to nearly as much trouble.
So, yes, in this song, I am angry, - & I'm wishing revenge on to someone who hurt me. hopefully there won't be too many more of these kind of songs in the future!

lyrics

04 The Fire

A nerve to lie, You been wasting all my time,
shoulda known that you were out of line.
how dare you waste my time.

Phased my mind, You'd never show it in the light.
That was never where you planned to lie.
Hidden outta sight.

Have you learned yet?
You earned your debt & you'll regret it.
Will you learn ever?
I burned your letters & I feel better.
Baby, fuel the fire.

Learned my lines, you think I'd understand you now.
But, if that's really what you want, you're gonna have it all.
Every chain that comes from walking down the dead end run,
pulling you down, pull you under til you drown.

You're gonna have it all, every chain pulling you down.
& where you plan to lie, now you'll never see the light.
So, go & take your turn, let it come back on you now.
You can't recite your lines, you know you've been found out.
Got yourself in for life, That's what you get for your lies.

Did you think that I'd fall for that old thing again?
The same old thing? I'm so done with this.
