[Verse1] He wanted everything no one told him the danger flying high rarely wins when reality's a stranger [Verse2] She tried to help him but he wouldn't listen now he's struggling to swim though the water is always warm [Pre Chorus] life comes at you fast, but you never knew nothing good ever lasts, and love is so few [Chorus] Chasing the flame it's like walking a wire it's always a losing game when you are playing with fire it's always a losing game when you are playing with fire [Verse3] When the dark clouds begin to fall he reaches for another drink throws his empty bottles at the wall if he only knew what she really thinks [Blistering Guitar Solo] [Verse4] alone in the dark he just can't see he was never all alone in this but he still can't let it be [Chorus] Chasing the flame it's like walking a wire it's always a losing game
