PUT THIS FIRE OUT
Childs Toni Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I still do when I'm feeling blue
Fearful that my struggle with life will never end
Help me please to stop
This fear in motion
These circles turn me
Someone help me put this fire out
Yes they turn me
Someone help me put this fire out
Running, I am scared what I will see
If I look inside, deep these wounds of mine
Hurting me so long I can't ignore them anymore
Help me please to find
Innocence is lost on the small
Mama said early, early on
But what was visible to me in my dreams
Is that the pain was all
I could ever see
And it moves me
Yes it turns me
Someone help me put this fire out
Yes it hurts me
Yes it turns me
Someone help me put this fire out
