Wildfire

Never was much good at hoping
Until you took my heart and tore it open
Never understood what love was
Until I took your hand in front of the lord above us
And then you cut flame like a wildfire
You came running into my life
And you light up the dark, but I can't see
How you belong to a boy like me
How you belong to a boy like me
I've learned that you're not perfect
And that sometimes the one you love can burn you
It's just the fools lookin' backwards
A bitter heart turns the love we made to ashes
A bitter heart turns the love we made to ashes
And then you cut the flame like a wildfire
When I'm with you I'm so alive
And you light up the dark but I can't see
How you belong to a boy like me
How you belong to a boy like me
When you love someone
They're gonna hurt you
When you love someone
They're gonna burn you
But don't let that burn you down
'Cause you cut flame like a wildfire
When I'm with you I'm so alive
And you light up the dark but I can't see
How you belong to a boy like me
How you belong to a boy like me
