Hidin' from starlight
Swattin' at fireflies
Can't face the sunrise
Or look into your eyes (look into your eyes)
Turnin' down cigarettes (oh)
Blowin' out candlesticks (oh)
I've been burned too many times
Now I'm gun-shy (now I'm gun-shy)

I know who you are, I've been here before
Stay away 'cause I don't wanna hurt anymore
I'm not afraid to be lonely, not scared of the dark
But I'm so afraid of fire that I'm running from sparks

I'm so afraid of fire that I'm running from sparks
So afraid of love, I can't open my heart
Not afraid to be lonely, not scared of the dark
But I'm so afraid of fire that I'm running from, running from sparks

When I see lightnin' (oh-oh-oh)
I feel myself dyin' (oh-oh-oh)
I have been burned too many times
And now I'm paralyzеd

I know who you are, I've been herе before
Stay away 'cause I don't wanna hurt anymore
I'm not afraid to be lonely, not scared of the dark
But I'm so afraid of fire that I'm running from sparks

I'm so afraid of fire that I'm running from sparks
So afraid of love, I can't open my heart
Not afraid to be lonely, not scared of the dark
But I'm so afraid of fire that I'm running from, running from sparks

So afraid of fire that I'm running from, running from sparks
So afraid of fire that I'm running from, running from sparks
