Light the Fire lyrics by Anna Livi

No one lets me be myself
How many times can I cry out for help?
Nobody knows what’s inside
When I try to let her out, they all put up a fight
I’m just a scared little girl trying to heal herself
Sorry babydoll go back up on the shelf
You’re not who they’re looking for
They need someone older and more mature
I say growing up is for the birds
I’m trying to heal myself and become more secure
Why is it the parts of myself I like
Too much for everybody else’s type
You gotta let her out, and light up the fire
Yeah, I gotta let her out and light up the fire
She’s really sweet and really kind
But everybody wants me to keep her inside
If I had to kill her I’d have to kill myself
Cause If I lose her I end up losing myself
All she wants is love and nurture
But she’s met with rejection and torture
She just needs someone to love her
One who won’t put nothin above her
Make sure you want all of me
If you shut her out long I might start to bleed
Oh, oh
I say growing up is for the birds
I’m trying to heal myself and become more secure
Why is it the parts of myself I like
Too much for everybody else’s type
You gotta let her out, and light up the fire
She won’t stay hidden for long
I try to push her down but she’s just way too strong
I can’t always be just a shell
Of someone that I’m not or just half of myself
I’m just so sick of wearing this mask
Can I be myself? Why do I have to ask?
If you say no, I’m gonna let go
I can only take so much before I can’t be sober
I say growing up is for the birds (oh, oh)
I’m trying to heal myself and become more secure
Why is it the parts of myself I like
Too much for everybody else’s type
You gotta let her out, and light up the fire
You gotta let her out, and light up the fire
You gotta let her out and light up the fire
You gotta let her out, and light up the fire
You gotta let her out and light up the fire
