Samantha | 69 comments I don't know what I was thinkin'
Guess I just wanted you bad
I leaned in far and showed you the stars
Gave you all that I had
But it wasn't enough
Oh baby you consume love
Cuz that's what fires do

Bursting flames in every direction
I had no gear
No protection
When I got too close
You burned me up
But what the hell was I to expect from this kinda love?
Cuz that's what fires do

Blasting comet across the night sky
Rushing right past my eyes
Purple, red, white, blue
I grabbed your tail to run away with you
212 degrees
A split second of bliss
Till my skin and my soul were black as the abyss

Just kindling on the way to your goal
If you could've
You would've swallowed me whole
I would've let you do it too
Playing my death off as some excuse
Sayin' something like
Oh
That's just what fires do
