walking through fire
carpenter, mary chapin
when you set a match to your heart
fueling it with bitterness and doubt
that's the place that once it starts
no amount of tears can put out
but no one's spared when you play with matches
you got me walking through fire
you got me walking through fire
maybe you've been burned by lovers
maybe you've been scarred by the pain
and you got me walking through fire
you got me walking through fire to get to you
got me walking through fire
you got me walking through fire
you can see the toll it's taking
you can feel the faith it's shaking
you can hear the heart it's breaking now
i've been burned by the fever
i've been scorched by desire
i am not your deceiver or your eloquent liar
your jealous heart is tearing us apart
when you got me walking through fire
you've got me walking through fire to get to you
got me walking through fire
you've got me walking through fire
you've got me walking through fire
you've got me walking through fire
as the flames shoot higher
you got me walking through fire
