VERSE 1 I never looked for fire, but you walked in like a flame. Quiet like a secret, pulling blood into my veins. I knew it wasn’t safety, I knew it wasn’t light. But something in my body called your darkness mine. PRE-CHORUS We didn’t choose the warning, we didn’t read the signs. We only felt the hunger moving underneath the lines. Every touch was trouble, every breath was blind. I lost myself a little when your shadow crossed mine. CHORUS I don’t call it love anymore, I call it what I had to survive. You were the storm at my door, I was the girl still learning to rise. I don’t chase the fire tonight, I don’t beg the past to stay. I take my heart from the fight, and let the fever fade away. VERSE 2 You knew where I was fragile, you knew where I was cold. You spoke without a promise, but still I let you close. It wasn’t clean or holy, it wasn’t built to last. But damn, it felt alive when it burned through the past. PRE-CHORUS 2 I mistook the pressure for something close to fate. But desire can be honest and still arrive too late. Now I hold the silence, now I draw the line. I can miss your body and still reclaim mine. CHORUS 2 I don’t call it love anymore, I call it what I had to survive. You were the storm at my door, I was the girl still learning to rise. I don’t chase the fire tonight, I don’t beg the past to stay. I take my heart from the fight, and let the fever fade away. BRIDGE I don’t hate you, that would keep you inside. I don’t blame you, I just stepped out of the lie. I don’t need closure, I don’t need pain. I let the echo lose my name. FINAL CHORUS I don’t call it love anymore, I call it what I had to survive. You were the storm at my door, I was the soul still learning to rise. I don’t chase the fire tonight, I don’t beg the past to stay. I choose the quiet over desire, and let the fever fade away. OUTRO No more fire. No more chains. No more calling hurt by your name. I was broken. Now I’m brave. I let the fever fade away.
