You played with fire And I was burned I gave my heart Maybe now I've learned Ooh, how the tables turn But I didn't start this game All I ever do is feel shame For being a keeper of a flame ♪ I am a string on your guitar You can play on me whenever you want But you know me, and you know the cost And you know that I get a little lost Ooh, how the tables turn But I didn't start this game All I ever do is feel shame For being a keeper of a flame ♪ Heavy as a heart can be I'm like a branch on a tree Reaching to be free Fatigue, I'm so tired of trying I will never feel elated Only feel at ease
