Here I am, lashing out at love again Alone, wondering why it hurt me like it did Here I am, cursing the word again Like it had anything to do with why I feel like this You can't blame the fire when you're the one that got too close You can't blame the wave, only the rider You can't blame the cliff when you're the one up on the edge You can't place the blame all on the flame You can't blame the fire Love's another force of nature The powerful, immovable object you can't change Yes, so I made the choice to chase her What other reason is there that it ended up this way? You can't blame the fire when you're the one that got too close You can't blame the wave, only the rider You can't blame the cliff when you're the one up on the edge You can't place the blame all on the flame You can't blame the fire I know it burned you up (You can't blame the fire) For doing what it does Now I'm staring at the ceiling Got keys that I'll give back and a number I can't call Pictures I'm supposed to be deleting I'm starting to wonder if it's not my own damn fault But you can't blame the fire when you're the one that got too close You can't blame the wave, only the rider You can't blame the cliff when you're the one up on the edge You can't place the blame all on the flame You can't blame the fire No, you can't blame the fire I can't blame the fire
