You walked in smooth, with a crooked smile
Thought you'd play me dirty, just for a while
Lies like perfume, dripping off your skin
But baby, I don't fall for cheap tricks again

You thought I'd beg, thought I'd crawl
But I rise higher every time you fall

You play with fire, you're bound to burn
Tables turned, now it's my turn
Tried to use me, thought I'd break
Now you're choking on the mess you made
Yeah, you play with fire, you lost the game
I walk away while you drown in shame
Your little kingdom, built on desire
Crashed and burned, you play with fire

Golden words, but your heart was cheap
Secrets you buried, I still could see
You pulled the strings, but I cut them loose
The joke's on you, I was never your fool

Your twisted game, it's over now
I wear my scars like a golden crown

You play with fire, you're bound to burn
Tables turned, now it's my turn
Tried to use me, thought I'd break
Now you're choking on the mess you made
Yeah, you play with fire, you lost the game
I walk away while you drown in shame
Your little kingdom, built on desire
Crashed and burned, you play with fire

Go ahead, keep talking, spread your lies
But the truth's already in your eyes
Every trick, every dirty plan
Came back to haunt the broken man

You play with fire, you're bound to burn
Every lesson is one you earned
Thought you owned me, thought I'd stay
But I'm the storm you can't escape
You play with fire, you lost the game
I carved my power out of your shame
Your little kingdom, your one desire
Turned to ashes, you play with fire
