What the Flames Feel Like

Some take to drinkin', some take to usin'
Don't matter what poison they choose
Some hit rock bottom, lose every dollar
Some get their hearts broke in two
'Cause it's a long way down and a hard road back

When you've been through hell, played with fire
Watched the devil dance
You thank the Lord each morning
For one more second chance
You might outrun your demons
You might get on with your life
But you never forget what the flames feel like

I know temptation is out there waiting
To lure me back into her arms
But I wont surrender
'Cause I remember how her kisses branded my heart
So I walk away 'cause the fire still burns

When you've been through hell, played with fire
Watched the devil dance
You thank the Lord each morning
For one more second chance
You might outrun your demons
You might get on with your life
But you never forget what the flames feel like

If you follow the straight and narrow
I know it might be hard to relate
But if you've been there like I've been there
You're careful with each step you take
'Cause it's a long way down and a hard road back

When you've been through hell, played with fire
Watched the devil dance
You thank the Lord each morning
For one more second chance
You might outrun your demons
You might get on with your life
But you never forget what the flames feel like
