Fire Starter

© Kira Small - Kilyrann Songs (ASCAP)

I shoulda known by the trail of smoke dragging in your wake

You wouldn't stay

Only thing you'd ever done when love dug in too deep

Was burn it down and walk away

You swore those days were over – you'd laid your matches down

And found the one you'd never leave

So tell me why I'm standing here soaked down to my skin

In tears and kerosene

Fire-starter - I thought you'd be a better man

Fire-starter – I put my heart in an arsonist's hands
but I won't burn again

In the comfort of the shadows, way on out of sight

You hid in shame

While I stood right in the center of that roaring blaze

and turned my face into the flame

CHORUS

Whatcha gonna do when there's nothing left to burn – fire-starter

Whatcha gonna do when there's nothing left to burn – fire-starter

Whatcha gonna do when there's nothing left to burn, nowhere left to turn

CHORUS

Ashes, ashes, I won't fall down

Ashes, ashes, I won't fall down

Whatcha gonna do when there's nothing left to burn – fire-starter

Ashes, ashes, I won't fall down
