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 paralyzed.

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.

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

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