Playing With Fire
Nick Leng Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Screaming when you whisper
Trying to hold you back
I'm drowning as she's gone
She said: Don't you speak to me that way
Because you're playing with fire
I said: You don't need for me to be
Falling, falling down
Tried to scope me sooner
I whisper in the??
But I look out of scene
She said: Don't you speak to me that way
Because you're playing with fire
I said: You don't need for me to be
She said you're playing with fire
My ghost under your way
Remind of a fading away
She said: Don't you speak to me that way
Because you're playing with fire
I said: You don't need for me to be
She said you're playing with fire
