VERSE

We call them cool,

those hearts that have no scars to show

The ones that never do let go

and risk the tables being turned

And we call them fools

who have to dance within the flame

Who chance the sorrow and the shame

That always comes with getting burned

BRIDGE

But you've got to be tough when consumed by desire

'Cause it's not enough just to stand outside the fire

| A |

VERSE

We call them strong,

those who can face this world alone, who seem to get

by on their own, those who will never take the fall.

But we call them weak.

Who are unable to resist

The slightest chance love might exist

And for that forsake it all

BRIDGE

They're so hell-bent on giving

Walking a wire

Convinced it's not living

If you stand outside the fire

CHORUS

Standing outside the fire

Standing outside the fire

Life is not tried, it is merely survived

If you're standing outside the fire

VERSE

There's this love and is burning

deep in my soul

Constantly yearning to get out of control

Wanting to fly higher

and higher I can't abide

CHORUS

Standing outside the fire

Standing outside the fire

Standing outside the fire

Life is not tried, it is merely survived

If you're standing outside the fire

Standing outside the fire

Standing outside the fire

Life is not tried, it is merely survived

If you're standing outside the fire
