[Verse 1] I slowed my pace and lost my breath Holdin’ onto your warmth while freezin’ to death Got lost in memories while paralyzed in bed How do I keep cool after hearing what you said? [Pre-Chorus] Oh oh oh.. Here comes the trouble Here comes the doubt Here comes the fear of livin’ without [Chorus] Ohh-ohh.. mmm.. I’m keepin’ it cool, I’m holdin’ it in Tears on Fire while I’m frozen within I’m sayin’ it calm, I’m still holdin’ on You’re the one lesson I keep gettin’ wrong [Verse 2] Oh I can’t stay here, the past just stings Numbin’ the pain by gettin’ some ink A new kind of hurt, that leaves an old ache Shreddin’ the letters filled with what I can’t say [Bridge] Ohh… ohhh… ohhh…. But now I’m just drowning, while awake in the flood Reaching out for you while you forget about us The light is too bright, the air suffocatin’ Outside my body and the room keeps spinnin’ Waiting for the end but stuck at the beginnin’ [Pre-Chorus - building] Oh oh oh.. All of the trouble All of the doubt Was always the fear of livin’ without [Soft Chorus - stripped back] Ohh-ohh.. mmm.. I’m keepin’ it cool I’m holdin’ it in Tears on Fire while I’m frozen…. within…. [Final Chorus - full vocal] Ohh-ohh.. mmm.. I’m keepin’ it cool, I’m holdin’ it in Tears on Fire while I’m frozen within I’m sayin’ it calm, I’m still holdin’ on You’re the one lesson I keep gettin’ wrong [Final Belt - emotional peak] Tears on Fire while I’m frozen within Tears on Fire, and I’m still holdin’ it in Tears on Fire and I’m still holdin’ on You’re the one lesson I keep gettin’ wrong [Outro - fading, breathy, unresolved] Ohh-ohh.. mmm.. Tears on Fire… Tears… On… [End]
