Lighting Fires Songtext
von The Gospel Youth

When I was younger, oh so lonely
Didn′t have a friend at all
I spent hours reading books
About how faith would one day call

Pull my services and guide me
To take me from this bitter hell
I'll leave notes to those I love
They read, "Farewell"

And I′d love to say I'd change a thing about it
But who I was made who I am

Yeah I know I've made mistakes
And I will take them to the grave
All my skeletons will guide me
Along the path for me to seek
Every fire I felt burn me
Gave me something more than scars
Every single choice we made
Made us exactly who we are


So I covered my skin in petrol
And I was searching for a spark
And in my errors I set fires in the dark
While the flames burned on so brightly
The love I had burned out so quick
Leaving them just clutching broken hearts and sticks

And I′d love to say I′d change a thing about it
But who I was made who I am

Yeah I know I've made mistakes
And I will take them to the grave
All my skeletons will guide me
Along the path for me to seek
Every fire I felt burn me
Gave me something more than scars
Every single choice we made
Made us exactly who we are

I′m still dealing with some problems
In fact I find it hard to stay
I'm sure people, they will talk
And you will hear what they all say
About my judgement and my character
The verdict is up to you
I am human and my work is never through

And I′d love to say I'd change a thing about it
But who I was made who I am


Yeah I know I′ve made mistakes
And I will take them to the grave
All my skeletons will guide me
Along the path for me to seek
Every fire I felt burn me
Gave me something more than scars
Every single choice we made
Made us exactly who we are

Yeah I know I've made mistakes
And I will take them to the grave
All my skeletons will guide me
Along the path for me to seek
Every fire I felt burn me
Gave me something more than scars
Every single choice we made
Made us exactly who we are

Yeah I know we've made mistakes
We will take them to the grave
All our skeletons will guide us
Along the path for me to seek
Every fire we felt burn us
Gave us something more than scars
Every single choice we made
Made us exactly who we are
