Lighting Fires - The Gospel Youth

Lighting Fires Lyrics

When I was younger,
All so lonely,
Didn't have a friend at all.
I spent hours reading books
about how fate would one day call.
Put my services and guide me
Take me from this bitter hell
I left notes to those
I love them that read farewell
And I'd love to say or 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
On the path for me to see

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
Then in (Evres?), I lit fires in the dark
While the flames were all so bright.
They let it happen all so quick
Leaving them clutching broken hearts and sticks
And I'd love to say or 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
On the path for me to see
Every fire I felt burn me
Gave me something more than scars
Every single choice we made
Made us exactly who we are
[Instrumental]
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 judgment and my character
the verdict is up to you
I am human
my work is never through
And I'd love to say or 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
On the path for me to see
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
On the path for me to see
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
On the path for us to see
Every fire we felt burn us
Gave us something more than scars
Every single choice we made
Made us exactly who we are
