Standing Outside the Fire

We call them cool


Those hearts that have no scars to show


The ones that never do let go


And risk the tables being turned


We call them fools


Who have to dance within the flame


Who chance the sorrow and the shame


That always comes with getting burned





But you’ve got to be tough when consumed by desire


‘Cause it’s not enough just to stand outside the fire





We call them strong


Those who can face this world alone


Who seem to get by on their own


Those who will never take the fall





We call them weak


Who are unable to resist


The slightest chance love might exist


And for that forsake it all


They’re so hell-bent on giving ,walking a wire


Convinced it’s not living if you stand outside the fire





Standing outside the fire


Standing outside the fire


Life is not tried, it is merely survived


If you’re standing outside the fire





There’s this love that is burning


Deep in my soul


Constantly yearning to get out of control


Wanting to fly higher and higher


I can’t abide


Standing outside the fire


Standing outside the fire


Standing outside the fire


Life is not tried, it is merely survived


If you’re standing outside the fire





Standing outside the fire


Standing outside the fire


Life is not tried, it is merely survived


If you’re standing outside the fire
