I can't believe it's really you
Been so long, you look good
I hear you're doing really well
Don't ask me, let me tell you
How I've been since when you left
Since you left me for dead
Finally every tear has dried
I've wiped you from my life

Do you remember all the times you said you'd call me
'Cause I remember all the reasons people warned me
And now I hear you saying that you still adore me
But if you think I'd ever get with you again
Then you can just

Love me, love me
Feed the flame
If you want me back again
Burns in the sky, higher and higher
Baby, can you play with fire?

(Come on and feel the sky)
Love me, love me
(Come on and feel the sky)
If you want me

You never know just what you got
'Till it's gone, you forgot
But I'm not falling for the game
Boys like you never change
You made me feel I wasn't enough
Wasn't enough for your love
But it was insecurity that made you run
It wasn't me

So don't you sit there trying
To give me more excuses
I don't have time 'cause it's
I'm off to play in Houston
And I'm too busy with a million things I'm doing
You can't make up for what you've done
But you still try to be the one

Love me, love me
Feed the flame
If you want me back again
Burns in the sky, higher and higher
Baby, can you play with fire?

Oh, by the way
By the way I've found someone who gives me space
Keeps me safe, makes me sane
Found someone to take your place
Now I'm safe in his arms
And I decide
Only he can play with fire

Love me, love me
Feed the flame
If you want me back again
Burns in the sky, higher and higher
Baby, can you play with fire?
