Try to see through your eyes, after all I’ve been you. Every word I throw at you, it’s armor, not a cage. I’ve walked the streets you roam, I learned the broken places, learned how they feel like home. I say the things I say to stop the knives you can’t yet see, Not to clip your wings, just stop you from falling free. You call me overbearing, call me cold and cruel, Like I’m the weight that flattens dreams, the jailer of your rules. But if you could feel these hands, the reasons behind my fears, You’d know I’m stitching armor from these stubborn, sleepless years. You don’t hear the reason, only hear the fight, You don’t see the care, just the clash in the night. Firecracker - you light the fuse, Bright and wild, refusing rules. Firecracker - I see the spark, But I’m trying to stop you before you explode. Firecracker - burn your truth, Baby, I swear I only want to keep you whole. Firecracker - don’t go solo, I’m reaching for the flame, not trying to hold your soul. I’ve been there, I’ve done that, tasted dust and pain, Learned the lullabies that turn into the rain. I’ve seen the map, it leads you to the edge, I’m screaming warnings to pull you from the ledge. How can I give you space so you can breathe and fly? How do I watch you stumble and not run to catch your cry? You challenge every warning like it’s a dare I can’t survive, You think I want to punish you, I want you to thrive. Don’t spit on the voice that's trying to save you, For the arms that are aching to break you! You don’t hear the care, just the weight in my voice, You don’t see the guard, only the loss of choice. Firecracker - you light the fuse, Bright and wild, refusing rules. Firecracker - I see the spark, But I’m trying to stop you before you explode. Firecracker - burn your truth, Baby, I swear I only want to keep you whole. Firecracker - wild and loud, I’m not here to dim you down! You call me bitch like it’s a truth I signed, You say I make your life miserable on purpose every time. But little angel, can’t you see between the lines? All I want is less of your sorrow, more of your bright designs. If I could trade my nights to keep you from the fall, I’d count my scars like talismans and gladly give them all. Let me learn to loosen up, let me learn to let you lead, I’ll be the backbeat of your courage when your heart begins to bleed. “Light it, strike it, watch it burn! My Little Firecracker - when will you learn?” Firecracker - you light the fuse, I used to try to blow out youth with rules. Firecracker - now I vow to change, I’ll keep you safe without stealing your flame. Firecracker - if you stumble, I’ll be near, Not to tie you down, just to wipe away the fear. Firecracker - burn your truth, fly bold, But promise me one moment, come home and tell me you’re whole. Try to see through your eyes, after all I’ve been you. Can’t you see , I just want what’s best for you. Firecracker Firecracker Firecracker
