Stand in the Flame

Verse 1

Hey, look who decided to show up today

Ready to drag everybody down the runway

You walk in the room and the temperature drops

Got a permanent scowl that just never stops

It’s a total drag, yeah, it’s honestly sad

Are you trying this hard to make everyone mad?

We’re all walking on eggshells, skipping on glass

While you’re sitting right there being a pain in the... pfft [laughter]

Pre-Chorus

It’s so exhausting, it’s making me heavy

You’re a one-person wrecking ball hitting my levy

You tear us all down just to build up your wall

But hey, look out below, babe, it’s starting to fall!

Chorus

Are you actually bitter or is it an act?

Did nobody love you? Is that just a fact?

You’re screaming so loud but you’re totally alone

With a cheap little heart that you turned into stone

I look at your damage, I look at your spite

And honestly? [sarcastic laugh] I’m just done with the fight

Yeah, I feel so sorry for what you became

Go ahead, roll your eyes, while you stand in the flame!

Verse 2

You’re a black hole swallowing up all the fun

Did someone forget to tell you you're not the sun?

Every word from your mouth is a negative strike

And you wonder why nobody cares what you like!

You’d rather be mean, yeah, you’d rather be cruel

Congratulations, you’re playing the fool

Keep projecting your anger on everyone else

But it’s getting real old, go and fix it yourself.

Pre-Chorus

It’s so exhausting, it’s making me heavy

You’re a one-person wrecking ball hitting my levy

You tear us all down just to build up your wall

But hey, look out below, babe, it’s starting to fall!

Chorus

Are you actually bitter or is it an act?

Did nobody love you? Is that just a fact?

You’re screaming so loud but you’re totally alone

With a cheap little heart that you turned into stone

I look at your damage, I look at your spite

And honestly? I’m just done with the fight

Yeah, I feel so sorry for what you became

Go ahead, roll your eyes, while you stand in the flame!

Verse 3

I used to get angry, I used to get mad

But looking at you now? It’s just really sad

You don’t even know what a real smile can mean

Just a little brat trapped in a miserable scene

Did somebody drop you? Did someone leave scars?

Is that why you’re crying to burning-out stars?

You think that you’re winning by locking the door

But you’re losing the things that were worth fighting for.

Verse 4

So go ahead, hate me, and go ahead, pout

I’m packing my bags and I’m stepping right out

I hope that you find what you’re looking for next

Go find a new target to leave all perplexed

Because life is too short to be drowning in grey

And I’m not gonna let you take my joy away

So wake up, cheer up, and look at the sky

Before the best parts of your life pass you by!

Bridge

It must be so dark inside of your head

Living with all of the trash that you said

Never knowing what happiness feels like at all...

[snicker] Yeah, must suck to be you.

Chorus

Are you actually bitter or is it an act?

Did nobody love you? Is that just a fact?

You’re screaming so loud but you’re totally alone

With a cheap little heart that you turned into stone

I look at your damage, I look at your spite

And honestly? I’m just done with the fight

Yeah, I feel so sorry for what you became

Go ahead, roll your eyes, while you stand in the flame!

Outro

Stand in the flame...

Yeah, you’re just standing there getting burned.

So mean for no reason.

What a tragic little season.

Seriously, I'm out.

Bye!
