Wild Heart
Daughtry Lyrics

You used to be the girl that set the world on fire
You were full of passion, energy and charisma that had the power to inspire and influence people around you. You were a force to be reckoned with.

And they drenched your soul in water but the flames reached higher
Although some people tried to suppress your strong personality, your inner fire and strength only grew more intense in the face of adversity.

Used to act so tough like you could walk on a wire
You used to project an image of strength and toughness that made people believe you could handle anything with ease and grace.

And they called you devil's daughter, such a pretty liar
Some people saw you as a deceiver or manipulator because of your confidence and ability to control situations and others. However, they also recognized your beauty and charm.

You were burning like the summer, crazy like a fox
You had a wild and unpredictable nature, like the heat of summer and the intelligence of a fox. You were not someone who could be easily contained or tamed.

You hit harder than a drummer, like a wave on the rocks
You had a powerful presence that could knock people off their feet, like the intensity of a drumbeat or the force of a wave crashing onto rocks.

You could play me like the lotto, you were playing a part
You had the ability to influence or manipulate people's emotions and actions, like playing a game of chance or acting a role. You were not always truthful about your motives or intentions.

There ain't nobody could tame you and your wild heart
No one could control or suppress your passionate and free-spirited nature, as your heart was wild and untamed.
