Through the Fire of Love

I walked through fire with your name. Held on to love through all the pain. Every promise turned to smoke. Every word nearly left me broke. But somewhere underneath the scars, I still remembered who we were. Through the fire of love, I learned what a heart can take. Through the tears and the lonely nights, Through every promise that could break. Love burned me. Love made me strong. Love showed me where I belong. I came through the flames somehow. Through the fire of love. I watched your shadow leave my door, But I wasn't the man I was before. The old guitar began to cry, Like it knew the reason why. I lost the love I thought I'd keep, But found a strength buried deep. Through the fire of love, I learned what a heart can take. Through the tears and the lonely nights, Through every promise that could break. Love burned me. Love made me strong. Love showed me where I belong. I came through the flames somehow. Through the fire of love. Oh. Some fires destroy, some fires change. Some teach a broken heart its name. I wouldn't wish those nights on anyone, But they showed me what I'd become. Through the fire of love, I walked where the brave don't go. I carried every scar with me And learned to let the old pain go. Love may leave a mark forever, But it can't break a soul that knows how To rise from the ashes. Through the fire of love, The flames are gone. The scars remain. But this old heart Still beats through the pain.
