[Verse 1] I bite my tongue too hard Feel that spark in my chest slammed car door Head full of bent-up stress I pace the hall at night Count the tiles on the floor One wrong word from you And I’m knocking on the wall [Pre-Chorus] But I know this fire Will eat us alive eventually I should back up slow learn to let it slide [Chorus] Match the fuse, not the flame I can cool you, when you can't Take one breath, take one more let's build instead of break things again Match the fuse, not the flame You can cool me, when I can't Hold my ground, let it pass I can't let this anger last [Verse 2] Cold water on my face Keys dropped in the bowl slow steps to the porch Let the noise leave my ears Let the bones restore we used to snap so fast Now we pause and stay watch the storm knock around [Pre-Chorus] But I know this fire Will eat us alive eventually I should back up slow and shut the door [Chorus] Match the fuse, not the flame I can cool my name Take one breath, take one more I don’t break things anymore Match the fuse, not the flame I can call my name Hold my ground, let it pass I can let the anger last [Bridge] [Half-time] If I shake, I wait If I boil, I breathe If I want to swing not feel your hands on me No more scorch marks No more shattered glass I can feel it rise And still let it pass [Chorus] Match the fuse, not the flame I can cool my name Take one breath, take one more I don’t break things anymore Match the fuse, not the flame I can call my name Hold my ground, let it pass I can let the anger last
