Fire



What would be the point in trying?
We'll both just end up crying
We'd be playing round with fire
And that's not my sort of game

Your heart is destined to break
And I don't want to be fake
What you want to hear right now
Will not soften it at all

So just listen to the truth:
There's nothing in me and you
