Too Close to the Flame - Classic 90s Country

Описание: Too Close to the Flame - Classic 90s Country
Verse 1
You were standing in the doorway light
Like a warning wrapped in white
Every step said “don’t come near”
But my heart didn’t listen to fear

You laughed like nothing could go wrong
Like fire don’t care who it burns
I felt the heat before your skin
Still I leaned right into it

Pre-Chorus
I knew better than to stay
But knowing never kept me safe

Chorus
I got too close to the flame
Stayed when I should’ve walked away
Felt your heat, ignored the pain
Now I’m the one left in the rain
I crossed a line I couldn’t name
Lost myself calling your name
Yeah, I got too close to the flame

Verse 2
You said, “Don’t fall, I won’t catch you”
I smiled like I didn’t hear the truth
Every kiss was a loaded gun
Every night I was coming undone

Your love burned slow, then all at once
Like a match to a pile of dust
I thought I could handle the fire
Didn’t know how far it would climb

Pre-Chorus
I saw the sparks inside your eyes
Still I bet my life on one more try

Chorus
I got too close to the flame
Stayed when I should’ve walked away
Felt your heat, ignored the pain
Now I’m the one left in the rain
I crossed a line I couldn’t name
Lost myself calling your name
Yeah, I got too close to the flame

Bridge
Now I sleep with the lights turned low
Trying not to feel what I already know
Some loves don’t leave you whole
They just teach you how to let go

If loving you was a sin
I’d confess and do it again
‘Cause lonely’s colder than regret
And I ain’t frozen just yet

Final Chorus
I got too close to the flame
Let it brand me, let it change me
I felt alive inside the pain
Even knowing I’d be the one to blame
Some fires you don’t escape
You just learn to live with the shape
Yeah, I got too close to the flame

Outro
Still feel your heat when I say your name
Guess I got too close… to the flame
