Lyrics:

You played with fire
And I was burned
I gave my heart
Maybe now I've learned
Ooh, how the tables turn
But I didn't start this game
All I ever do is feel shame
For being a keeper of a flame

I am a string on your guitar
You can play on me whenever you want
But you know me, and you know the cost
And you know that I get a little lost
Ooh, how the tables turn
But I didn't start this game
All I ever do is feel shame
For being a keeper of a flame

Heavy as a heart can be
I'm like a branch on a tree
Reaching to be free
Fatigue, I'm so tired of trying
I will never feel elated
Only feel at ease
