Keeping Me Alive

[Verse 1] You tried to hold me down, so I became a soldier Built up all these walls, and now I'm climbing over Those nasty bees are temping me, oh, lord But I ain't going back You take me for a fool, that doesn't make me foolish Told me I was wrong, passion made you ruthless Manipulate, it's just too late, oh, lord 'Cause I ain't goin' back no more [Pre-Chorus] You're fueling up the flames Gonna show you what I'm made of [Chorus] Breaking every chain that you put on me You thought I wouldn't change, but I grew on ya 'Cause I will never be what you wanted This fire, (this fire), this fire is keeping me alive Makin' me believe I couldn't do without ya Make it hard to leave, you think it's all about ya You know I'll never be what you wanted This fire, (this fire), this fire [Verse 2] I tried to get this weight off of my shoulders Built up all my strength, I'm finally taking over Complicate, I don't appreciate, oh lord 'Cause I ain't going back no more [Pre-Chorus] You're fueling up the flames Gonna show you what I'm made of [Chorus] Breaking every chain that you put on me You thought I wouldn't change, but I grew on ya 'Cause I will never be what you wanted This fire, (this fire), this fire is keeping me alive Making me believe I couldn't do without ya Make it hard to leave, you think it's all about ya You know I'll never be what you wanted This fire, (this fire), this fire is keeping me alive Keeping me alive Keeping me alive This fire, (this fire), this fire is keeping me alive [Bridge] Breaking me, shaking me, shaping me into what I never wanted, oh Breaking me, shaking me, making my beating heart a little stronger Stronger, strong, baby [Chorus] Breaking every chain that you put on me You thought I wouldn't change, but I grew on ya 'Cause I will never be what you wanted This fire, this fire, this fire is keeping me alive Breaking every chain that you put on me You thought I wouldn't change, but I grew on ya 'Cause I will never be what you wanted This fire, (this fire), this fire is keeping me alive Making me believe I couldn't do without ya Make it hard to leave, you think it's all about ya You know I'll never be what you wanted This fire, (this fire), this fire is keeping me alive Keeping me alive Keeping me alive This fire, (this fire), this fire is keeping me alive
