.o.
liar liar, heart on fire
"i've never been in love."
you swear
and oh lily luna, that is a lie if i ever heard one
"i'll never fall in love."
you claim
and oh lily luna, your slytherin is showing
"i don't believe in love."
you say
and oh lily luna, you're a lying fool
cuz lily luna love, you've been in love
{gavin wood}
you are in love
{teddy lupin}
and lily luna, you'll fall in love again
{i'll give you a hint: your eldest brother's rival}
little lily luna, you're practically made to love
you give your heart away just a little too easily
but be careful who you let play with matches, lily lu
because one of these days, your heart will catch fire
don't be silly, you think
because you think you are fire
your hair is the color of flames
your brown eyes burn with intensity
your tongue is hot and quick, your words, they burn like molten lava
your touch is quick and lingers like a burn
some days, you feel like you breathe fire
as you knock back shot after shot of firewhiskey
[but honey, even dragons burn]
and so you skip along through life,
tossing around lies like they're petals and you're a flower girl
you play with fire cause it's fun and you like to watch it burn
[but honey, if you play with fire you're gonna get burned]
and then you meet him
a boy to match you
a boy made of fire
(now available: the complete set; fire girl and fire boy)
he's your older brother's school rival
but that's just fuel for the fire
and aaric zabini is making you burn hotter
and merlin, you love burning
but then he says it
he tells you he loves you
and then the dragon burns
you're engulfed in flame
and it burnsburnsburns
for the first time in your life you hate the fire
it's burning you away
leaving a frail, weak girl behind
a girl who wants his love but can't return it
because apparently, you don't believe in love
{liar liar, heart on fire}
so you leave him
you flee the flames you used to love
runrunrun for the hills, run from the valley that burns
he comes after you though
he loves you and so he braves the flames that consume you
and they flicker away from him because his love for you protects him
"lily, i love you."
"aaric, i can't."
"why not lily?" he asks you
"i don't believe in love."
you whisper, ashamed
the words burn through your mind as you say them
[liarliarlover girl]
"then believe in us."
he whispers back, breath hot on your neck
you take a deep breath and close your eyes and decide
you'll believe
you'll believe in him
you'll believe in his love
you'll believe in the two of you
{love? yeah, maybe you'll believe in that too.}
[but sh, don't tell!]
(lily luna, girl on fire, she can't believe in love)
and the flames, they stop burning you
they don't leave you alone, no
you become one with the flame
maybe you warm up, maybe it cools down
but the flame, it just doesn't burn you
and then you fall in love with him
you fall in love with him and you don't mind
you fall in love with him and it works
you fall in love with him and you're happy
so you marry him
you become mrs. zabini
you turn to flame, a burning golden glory
and the two of you burn down all the opposition
because you're the girl and boy on fire
and you're unstoppable
