Walking Through Fire Lyrics - Singles - Carpenter Mary-chapin

When you set a match to your heart 

Fueling it with bitterness and doubt 

That's a blaze that, once it starts, 

No amount of tears can put out 

I know you're scared, but no one's spared 

When you play with matches 

You've got me walking through fire 

Walking through fire 

Maybe you've been burned by lovers 

Maybe you've been scarred by the pain 

But baby, I'm not like the others 

Drawing moths to a flame 

Spite is like a spark, crackling in the dark 

Consuming all it catches 

And you've got me walking through fire 

Walking through fire to get to you 

Walking through fire, 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 

Baby, I have burned with a fever 

I've been scorched by desire 

But baby, I am not your deceiver 

Or your eloquent liar 

Your jealous heart is tearing us apart 

And turning love to ashes 

You've got me walking through fire 

Walking through fire 

As the flames shoot higher 

You've got me walking through fire 

Walking
