Playin’ With Fireworks

Some nights when the lights go down
Can’t put these embers out
Keep trying but I can’t forget
The sparks flying in my bed

Broke down when you made me choose
Did what I had to do
Held on to the afterglow
Until it all went up in smoke

That don’t mean the flame is faded
In my dreams we light it up again
Roman candles in the rain
Every time it’s just like playin’ with fireworks
Better quit before it hurts

You told me love is blind
Oh, but you crossed the line
Set fire to the mess I made
Burned up and walked away

That don’t mean the flame is faded
In my dreams we light it up again
Roman candles in the rain
Every time it’s just like playin’ with fireworks
Better quit before it hurts

Bottom line is we left it all behind
Let the pain ignite the fuse
Watch it shine flash and flicker in the sky
Blazed a trail away from you
