Playing With Fire
Forever the Sickest Kids Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Everyone I know swears that she's cheating on me
I'm just a sucker that fell in love with a liar
I'm flirting with danger, I'm playing with fire
I know I could do better,
But better's just whatever
When you find the one you love,
Taking shots with every guy at the bar,
Taking photos of herself top down in the back of my car
I can't say that she doesn't get to me
I can't say it doesn't rip right through me
I know I could do better,
But better's just whatever
When you find the one you love,
It doesn't matter if they tear you apart
She hates me, but she wants me inside,
I know, I know, I know, I know, I'm playing with fire
'Cause she's out of her mind
I know, I know, I know, I know, I'm playing with fire, playing with fire
From the first time that I saw her,
I knew that I was in love
Got her name tattooed,
Got the mark of the beast on my arm
Down dirty likes to roll in the mud
Got a thirst for sweat an insatiable hunger for blood
Her curves they speak right to me
Her eyes they see right through me
I know I could do better,
But better's just whatever
When you find the one you love,
It doesn't matter if they tear you apart
She hates me, but she wants me inside,
I know, I know, I know, I know, I'm playing with fire
'Cause she's out of her mind
I know, I know, I know, I know, I'm playing with fire, playing with fire
Can't trust a liar, can't beat a cheater
Can't trust a liar, can't beat a cheater
She loves to take advantage of me
I don't, I don't, I don't to know why I love her, but I love her
I'm a sucker for pain, I know, I know, I know, I know, I'm...
She hates me, but she wants me inside,
I know, I know, I know, I know, I'm playing with fire
'Cause she's out of her mind
I know, I know, I know, I know, I'm playing with fire, playing with fire
Can't trust a liar, can't beat a cheater
I know, I know, I know, I know, I'm playing with fire
Can't trust a liar, can't beat a cheater
I know, I know, I know, I know, I'm playing with fire
The lyrics of Forever the Sickest Kids's song Playing With Fire tell the story of a person who is fully aware that they are in a toxic and dangerous relationship, but they can't seem to detach themselves from the situation. The singer is being cheated on by their partner, who takes advantage of them and uses them for their convenience. Despite the pain and destruction that this relationship has brought upon them, the singer cannot resist the temptation of being with their partner. They feel like they are playing with fire by staying in this relationship, knowing that they will inevitably get burned.
The lyrics are presented with a sense of apathy and a dash of defiance, as if the singer has accepted their fate of being in an unstable and destructive relationship. The lines "I know I could do better, but better's just whatever" showcase this attitude perfectly. The singer acknowledges that they deserve better, but they have resigned themselves to their fate. The lyrics also reflect on the passion and physical attraction that the singer has for their partner, despite knowing that they are bad for them. The lines "Her curves they speak right to me, Her eyes they see right through me" show that the physical attraction is still there, but the trust and love are broken.
