I have been a fire I have been a fire Burning from below Hot enough to know I have been a fire You were just a flower Always just a flower Tender like a rose With charred and blackened toes And still you call me Still adore me Still you call me love, love love Still you call me love, you call me love I have been a fire I have been a fire Silently I burn Far too proud to learn I have been a fire You became the water You became the water Washed me 'til I drowned Picked me from the ground You became the water
