I might've looked fearless
But I was shaking in my shoes
My shoulders all squared up
But my courage was just booze
Wisdom is knowing what the hardest part was
And wearing that lesson like armor
Nothing shatters quite the way a heart does
And the fact that it just keeps coming back
Makes it all harder
I don't want to go down that road again
But you stood by my side and held onto my hand
One look in your eyes told me you'd been where I'd been
We've both been hurt; both been burned
Think that by now, we both would've learned
We're both playing with matches
Taking chances
Playing with fire
Baby, if I seem cold
It's from secrets I can't tell
I imagine Heaven
Only 'cause I've been through Hell
Patience is keeping the faith and believing
There's no danger in a night without armor
Nothing to quell this wary feeling
Can't jump into the fire, but I'm getting warmer
