THIS FIRE
by Lori McKenna
I thought he'd love me forever
How forever is easily said
Oh, how love is like liquid
Liquid over my head.
All I wanted was to love him
So I gave him my heart.
The first thing I learned about love is
Things break when you tear them apart.
Will you love me when I'm angry
Will you bring me my spirit when my soul is dry
Will you give me your forever
Will you lay down in this fire?
So my dear are you lonely?
Or are you just the lonely type?
The ones who cry with their lovers
The kind who love out of spite.
Will you love me when I'm angry
Will you bring me my spirit when my soul is dry
Will you give me your forever
Will you lay down in this fire?
I'm not going to ever take away
From the person you're trying to be
So you can stay right there inside yourself
I know everyone wants to be free
On the night my lover left me
I did not beg his stay
Watched a paper bag trying to jump a chainlink fence
And I knew he was just blowing away
Will you love me when I'm angry
Will you bring me my spirit when my soul is dry
Will you give me your forever
