I remember back then
I would come home with a bloody nose
I remember back then
I was just tyna not be alone
Tryna fit in with the Pac 10
Tossed out like a butt on the road
I didn't know how to act when
The tears came should have never left home
Cause I was afraid to smile
Because I didn't have the confidence of those guys
Hittin' every single girl I though I loved
I didn't understand why I was so different
But I put away the thoughts and I tried
Biting on my tongue when all of those guys
See me out when I'm enjoying my time
I want to give it back to em
You light me on fire
You light me on fire
You light me on fire
You light me up
You light me on fire
You light me on fire
You light me on fire
You light me up
I remember back then
Got invited to a hot spot, play a tune
I remember back then
Was still buzzin' from the talent show mid June
I didn't know it was a trap then
Caught a couple of em calling me a douche
Same cats from the Pac 10
I didn't let it go and crack my mood
Cause I wasn't afraid to smile
Because I built up the confidence of those guys
Hittin' every single girl they thought they loved
I bet they don't know it to this day
But I put away the thoughts of fitting in
Strived to always be the one who's different
Guys, when you see me out enjoying my time
Don't be afraid, come say "Hi"
You light me on fire
You light me on fire
You light me on fire
You light me up
You light me on fire (light em up light em up)
You light me on fire (light em up light em up)
You light me on fire (light em up light em up)
You light me up
Nah I ain't gonna stand for a bully
Put em up if you wanna get gully
But the best revenge's to sit and watch from a far
Get fit, stay lit, while they get chubby
See em out like an old dirty bar rag
Same bar? Same town? So sad
Hanging with the same clique doing nothing with their lives
While you've been out making big moves buzzing
Back then I couldn't see it pays to be the kid who didn't get accepted at all
Stay head down, walk tall, think big, not small
Let em give you motivation for something
And put that black sheep fist up, love it
Take that and rewind it back
And do it all the same
They're gonna know your name
And that's truth
You light me on fire
You light me on fire
You light me on fire
You light me up
You light me on fire (light em up light em up)
You light me on fire (light em up light em up)
You light me on fire (light em up light em up)
You light me up
