You walked in smooth, with a crooked smile Thought you'd play me dirty, just for a while Lies like perfume, dripping off your skin But baby, I don't fall for cheap tricks again You thought I'd beg, thought I'd crawl But I rise higher every time you fall You play with fire, you're bound to burn Tables turned, now it's my turn Tried to use me, thought I'd break Now you're choking on the mess you made Yeah, you play with fire, you lost the game I walk away while you drown in shame Your little kingdom, built on desire Crashed and burned, you play with fire Golden words, but your heart was cheap Secrets you buried, I still could see You pulled the strings, but I cut them loose The joke's on you, I was never your fool Your twisted game, it's over now I wear my scars like a golden crown You play with fire, you're bound to burn Tables turned, now it's my turn Tried to use me, thought I'd break Now you're choking on the mess you made Yeah, you play with fire, you lost the game I walk away while you drown in shame Your little kingdom, built on desire Crashed and burned, you play with fire Go ahead, keep talking, spread your lies But the truth's already in your eyes Every trick, every dirty plan Came back to haunt the broken man You play with fire, you're bound to burn Every lesson is one you earned Thought you owned me, thought I'd stay But I'm the storm you can't escape You play with fire, you lost the game I carved my power out of your shame Your little kingdom, your one desire Turned to ashes, you play with fire
