I was okay on my own then I saw you
You were standing all alone and I watched you
We were both looking for something, someone to talk to
There's something about you, you do whatever you want to

Makeup on my pillowcase
Wake up with your aftertaste
Our bodies burning up in flames
But all you do is slip away

So I hold you like fire
Even though it hurts
So I hold you like fire
Even though I might get burned
So I hold you like fire
And I pray this time I learn to let you go
But I don't know, I don't know why
(Hold you like, hold you like fire)

(Hold you like, hold you like, woo)
(I hold you like...)
So I hold you like fire
(Hold you like, hold you like, woo)
(Hold you like, hold you like fire)

Touch you, I get close and you hide that you like it
When you're all over me, my skin's ignited
So breathe 'cause it's just me
There's no pressure let's just be
But every time this feels like something
Then it's morning and you leave
And then there's...

Makeup on my pillowcase
Wake up with your aftertaste
Our bodies burning up in flames
But all you do is slip away

So I hold you like fire
Even though it hurts
So I hold you like fire
Even though I might get burned
So I hold you like fire
And I pray this time I learn to let you go
But I don't know, I don't know why
(Hold you like, hold you like fire)

(Hold you like, hold you like, woo)
(I hold you like...)
So I hold you like fire
(Hold you like, hold you like, woo)
(Hold you like, hold you like fire)

And it always stays the same
Setting fire to the rain
Hit me like a hurricane
Still I try to grab the flame and I get burned
Every time you leave it's like I never learn
I just keep playing with fire till I get what I deserve

With your makeup on my pillowcase
Wake up with your aftertaste
Our bodies burning up in flames
But all you do is slip away

So I hold you like fire
Even though it hurts
So I hold you like fire
Even though I might get burned
So I hold you like fire
And I pray this time I learn to let you go
But I don't know, I don't know why
(Hold you like, hold you like fire)

(Hold you like, hold you like, woo)
So I hold you like fire
(Hold you like fire, I hold you like fire)
So I hold you like fire
And I pray this time I learn to let you go
But I don't know, I don't know why
(Hold you like, hold you like fire)
