Lyrics

[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

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

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

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

If you won’t take me in

I still stand here
