[Verse 1]
Six years gone by
And I still know the lane
Your window was dark
But I came all the same
My shoes in the mud
Your gate in my hand
I had one small prayer
You would understand
[Pre-Chorus]
But your face went cold
Like rain on stone
You said, “Why are you here?”
As if I’d come to wrong your home
[Chorus]
I stand in the fire
I stand in the fire
If you won’t take me in
I still stand here
I stand in the fire
(stand in the fire)
Your yes never came
Still I’m standing here
[Verse 2]
You looked through me once
Like I was a ghost
Said my name out loud
Like it hurt you most
I almost turned back
I almost broke clean
But the truth in my chest
Would not let me leave
[Pre-Chorus]
And the night kept still
On the garden wall
You said, “Leave me alone”
And I heard it all
[Chorus]
I stand in the fire
I stand in the fire
If you won’t take me in
I still stand here
I stand in the fire
(stand in the fire)
Your yes never came
Still I’m standing here
[Bridge]
Let the cold take my hands
Let the stones take my name
I came with open love
Not a tongue of blame
If you shut every door
If you burn every sign
I’ll be at your edge
Till the last ember dies
[Final Chorus]
I stand in the fire
I stand in the fire
If you won’t take me in
I still stand here
I stand in the fire
(stand in the fire)
Your no cuts deep
Still I’m standing here
I stand in the fire
I stand in the fire
If you won’t take me in
I still stand here
