So, a friend of mine has been going through a strange situation lately, and asked me to write a song for her. This is what I've got, so far.
Playing With Fire
I close my eyes for a minute just to try and take it back
and I'm not ashamed to admit that you're the best that I've ever had.
Sitting here with you tonight makes me feel like I'm someone else
but I know in the morning light I'm going to have to face myself.
If I said, "Stop, I don't want to do this anymore!" then I'd be a liar.
But I know there's only so long before you get burned when you're playing with fire.
And everytime you strike the match, I lose a piece of me that I'll never get back.
And even though you're here tonight, I know deep down you'll never be mine but
But I can't help but wonder, is this really just games or something more?
Do you ever think of me when you're lying there with her?
I close my eyes for a minute and I try to take a breath
I know I should regret but, honestly, I'm too far for that.
Your words and eyes are scorching, your lips and hands are gasoline
You hold me in your arms and my world erupts into flames.
If I said, "Stop, I don't want to do this anymore!" then I'd be a liar.
But I know there's only so long before you get burned when you're playing with fire.
And everytime you strike the match, I lose a piece of me that I'll never get back.
And even though you're here tonight, I know deep down you'll never be mine but
But I can't help but wonder, is this really just games or something more?
Do you ever think of me when you're lying there with her?
If I said, "Stop, I don't want to do this anymore," then I'd be a liar.
But I know there's only so long before you get burned when you're playing with fire.
You tied me up and dowsed my heart with kerosene.
I'm burning higher and higher, and it feels so bittersweet.
And everytime we strike that match, I lose a piece of me that I'll never get back.
And even though you're here tonight, I know deep down you'll never be mine but
But I can't help but wonder, is this just a game or something more?
Do you ever think of me when you're lying there with her?
I close my eyes for a minute just to try and take it back.
I know I should regret but, honestly, I'm too far for that.
