Standing Outside The Fire Lyrics

We call them cool 

 Those hearts that have no scars to show 

 The ones that never do let go 

 And risk the tables being turned 

 

 We call them fools 

 Who have to dance within the flame 

 Who chance the sorrow and the shame 

 That always comes with getting burned 

 

 But you've got to be tough when consumed by desire 

 'Cause it's not enough just to stand outside the fire 

 

 We call them strong 

 Those who can face this world alone 

 Who seem to get by on their own 

 Those who will never take the fall 

 

 We call them weak 

 Who are unable to resist 

 The slightest chance love might exist 

 And for that forsake it all 

 

 They're so hell-bent on giving ,walking a wire 

 Convinced it's not living if you stand outside the fire 

 

 Standing outside the fire 

 Standing outside the fire 

 Life is not tried, it is merely survived 

 If you're standing outside the fire 

 

 There's this love that is burning 

 Deep in my soul 

 Constantly yearning to get out of control 

 Wanting to fly higher and higher 

 I can't abide 

 Standing outside the fire 

 

 Standing outside the fire 

 Standing outside the fire 

 Life is not tried, it is merely survived 

 If you're standing outside the fire 

 

 Standing outside the fire 

 Standing outside the fire 

 Life is not tried, it is merely survived 

 If you're standing outside the fire
