You try to hold me down so I became a soldier

Built up all theses walls and now I′m climbing over

Those nasty bees are tempting me

Oh Lord! but I ain't going back

You take me for a fool (fool), that doesn′t make me foolish

Told me I was wrong (wrong), passion made you ruthless

Manipulate, It's just too late

Oh lord! 'cause I ain′t going back no more

Your fueling of the flames gonna show you what I′m made of

Breakin' every chain that you put on me

You thought I wouldn′t change but I grew on you

'Cause I will never be what you wanted

This fire (this fire), this fire

Is keeping me alive

Making me believe I couldn′t do without you

Make it hard to leave you think It's all about you

You know I′ll never be what you wanted

This fire (this fire), this fire

I tried to get this weight off of my shoulders

Built up all my strength I'm finally taking over

Complicate, I don't appreciate

Oh lord! ′cause I ain′t going back no more

Your fueling of the flames gonna show you what I'm made of

Breakin′ every chain that you put on me

You thought I wouldn't change but I grew on you

′Cause I will never be what you wanted

This fire (this fire), this fire

Is keeping me alive

Making me believe I couldn't do without you

Make it hard to leave you think It′s all about you

You know I'll never be what you wanted

This fire (this fire), this fire

Is keeping me alive

Keeping me alive, keeping me alive

This fire (this fire), this fire (Is keeping me alive)

Breakin' me, shakin′ me, shapin′ me

Into what I never wanted, oh

Breakin' me, shakin′ me

Makin' my beatin′ heart a little stronger

(Stronger)

(Stronge baby)

Breakin' every chain that you put on me

You thought I wouldn′t change but I grew on you

'Cause I will never be what you wanted

This fire (this fire), this fire

Is keeping me alive

Breakin' every chain that you put on me

You thought I wouldn′t change but I grew on you

′Cause I would never be what you wanted

This fire (this fire), this fire

Is keeping me alive

Making me believe I couldn't do without you

Make it hard to leave you think It′s all about you

You know I'll never be what you wanted

This fire (this fire), this fire

Is keeping me alive

Keeping me alive, keeping me alive

This fire (this fire), this fire

Is keeping me alive
