Lyrics

Story

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

Sasuke, why do you always have to be so damn perfect? Why do you have to make everyone love you, even me? Why do you have to be so sure of yourself, always cool and calm? you think you know exactly what everyone is thinking. Well, if you did, you would really be surprised at some of my thoughts...

We call them fools

Who have to dance within the flame

Who chance the sorrow and the shame

That always comes with getting burned

Naruto, why do you always have to jump without looking? You throw yourself headlong into everything you do, and it usually backfires. You have to try everything at least once just to try it, and you wind up getting burnt.

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

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

But I guess you have to be tough my little Kitsune, to keep going back even after you get burnt, because you couldn't live taking the easy road, could you?

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

Sasuke, you think that you don't need anyone else? Yeah, you have done pretty well so far, but what must you feel when you are all alone, no one to comfort you...no one to share your joy? I wish I could be like that for you.

We call them weak

Who are unable to resist

The slightest chance love might exist

And for that forsake it all

Naruto, You can't help but do irrationally insane things. You set high goals, goals that a normal person could never attain. But I guess thats why you are you. You can do anything you really set your mind to. The one you desire after had better watch their heart, lest it get stolen without warning. But be careful not to loose everything you have to your goals.

They're so hell-bent on giving, walking a wire

Convinced it's not living if you stand outside the fire

My Kitsune, you are so devoted, it is scary sometimes, going out on a limb to do things that are better left undone. You say life isn't worth living unless you can push the boundaries to the limmit.

Standing outside the fire

Standing outside the fire

Life is not tried, it is merely survived

If you're standing outside the fire

Sasuke, you aren't really living, being all alone like you are. It hurts me, it Pains me, to see you lock yourself away so you can't get hurt. You are standing outside the fire...

There's this love that is burning

Deep in my soul

Constantly yearning to get out of control

Wanting to fly higher and higher

I can't abide

Standing outside the fire

Sasuke, I have to tell you. I love you so much and I want to be able to show it to you, but if you never notice me, how can I? I keep going higher and higher, doing more dangerous things. What will it take for you to finally break? I don't want to stand 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

Naruto, you don't understand. I feel Safe where I am now. I don't want to loose what I have. How can I make you see? I Like standing outside the fire. But, I love you. What do I do?

Standing outside the fire

Standing outside the fire

Life is not tried, it is merely survived

If you're standing outside the fire

Sasuke, come dance with me in the flames and I will tell you what you mean to me. You have to take a chance and quit hiding. Show yourself. Live and love and quit standing outside the fire...

as always, read and review!
