[Verse 1]
Gave me love, sweet love
Gave me love, sweet love
Heaven above, sent me love
But it wasn't enough, no it wasn't enough
[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause I've been a devil, I've been a saint
Somebody help me, I can't change
[Chorus]
I keep on (runnin' toward, runnin' toward the fire)
I keep on (runnin' toward, runnin' toward) the fire
Oh, I let my lover go, didn't wanna be a liar
Ashes in the cold, now I'm running toward the fire
(Runnin' toward, runnin' toward the fire)
I keep on (runnin' toward, runnin' toward) the fire
[Verse 2]
Gave me love, gave me sick sick love
But it was me who got swallowed up
Not enough, dust to dust, pray for us
[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause I've been a devil, I've been a saint
Somebody help me, I can't change
[Chorus]
I keep on (runnin' toward, runnin' toward the fire)
I keep on (runnin' toward, runnin' toward) the fire)
Oh, I let my lover go, didn't wanna be a liar
Ashes in the cold, now I'm running toward the fire
(Runnin' toward, runnin' toward the fire)
I keep on (runnin' toward, runnin' toward) the fire
[Bridge]
Oh, oh, gonna get burned, gonna get burned
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, gonna get burned, gonna get burned
Oh
[Chorus]
Oh, I let my lover go, didn't wanna be a liar
Ashes in the cold, now I'm running toward the fire
Runnin' toward, runnin' toward the fire
Oh, I'm running
Runnin' toward, runnin' toward the fire, oh
The Fire was written by Ian Scott & Mark Jackson & Bishop Briggs.
The Fire was produced by Ian Scott & Mark Jackson.
Bishop Briggs released The Fire on Fri Apr 14 2017.
This was written right when I broke up with my ex. It was about leaving that safe place because I didn’t truly feel like myself and I didn’t truly feel happy, but that meant I would be running into the fire.
