Keeping Me Alive

You try to hold me down so I became a soldier
 Built up all theses walls and now I'm climbing over
 Those nasty bees are tempting me
 Oh Lord! but I ain't going back
 You take me for a fool (fool), that doesn't make me foolish
 Told me I was wrong (wrong), passion made you ruthless
 Manipulate, It's just too late
 Oh lord! 'cause I ain't going back no more
 Your fueling of the flames gonna show you what I'm made of
 Breakin' every chain that you put on me
 You thought I wouldn't change but I grew on you
 '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 you
 Make it hard to leave you think It's all about you
 You know I'll never be what you wanted
 This fire (this fire), this fire
 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
 Your fueling of the flames gonna show you what I'm made of
 Breakin' every chain that you put on me
 You thought I wouldn't change but I grew on you
 '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 you
 Make it hard to leave you think It's all about you
 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)
 Breakin' me, shakin' me, shapin' me into what I never wanted, oh
 Breakin' me, shakin' me makin' my beatin' heart a little stronger
 Stronger, strong baby
 
 Breakin' every chain that you put on me
 You thought I wouldn't change but I grew on you
 'Cause I will never be what you wanted
 This fire (this fire), this fire
 Is keeping me alive
 Breakin' every chain that you put on me
 You thought I wouldn't change but I grew on you
 'Cause I would never be what you wanted
 This fire (this fire), this fire
 Is keeping me alive
 Making me believe I couldn't do without you
 Make it hard to leave you think It's all about you
 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
