Lyrics

erse
Where was the warning
Where was the sign
O how could be so unaware every time
To see your love was something
That'll never be mine
I gave up my heart torn and reused
O for you to fix it shiny and new
Loving me back was all you ever had to do

Chorus
But I learned that if you stand by a fire
Long enough to get burned
O you'll touch a flame is what I've learned
And third degree burns take a while to heal
But darling darling if you stand by a fire
Long enough you get burned
O too close to the flame you'd think I'd learn
That third degree burns take a while to heal

Verse
Fire and ice a dangerous combination
Thought this was right but clearly I've mistaken
Your love will never never be mine
Deeper wounds leave deeper scars
O the deepest you decided to go
Was straight to my heart
Now I know something I'll never deny

Chorus
That if you stand by a fire long enough to get burned
O you'll touch a flame is what I've learned
And third degree burns take a while to heal
But darling darling if you stand by a fire
Long enough you get burned
O too close to the flame you'd think I'd learn
That third degree burns take a while to heal
(Half verse)
Love can be such a dangerous thing
When you've lost all control of everything
Someway Somehow you will find

Chorus
That if you stand by a fire
Long enough to get burned
O you'll touch a flame is what I've learned
And third degree burns take a while to heal
But darling darling if you stand by a fire
Long enough to get burned
O you'll touch a flame is what I've leaned
And third degree burns take a while to heal
