Verse 1
I was always the one to take the fall
Gambling everything, risking it all
No safety net, just open sky
I was never afraid to fly
Pre-Chorus
But I've been warned, I'm tempting fate
Running full speed at heaven's gate
Chorus
Baby, I've been playing with fire
Reaching higher and higher
Feel the burn, every desire
Yeah, I'm playing with fire
Verse 2
All the whispers say I'm bound to lose
But I'm too far gone to choose
Can't turn back, the die is cast
Living like each day’s my last
Pre-Chorus
But I've been warned, I'm tempting fate
Running full speed at heaven's gate
Chorus
Baby, I've been playing with fire
Reaching higher and higher
Feel the burn, every desire
Yeah, I'm playing with fire
Bridge
Can't go back now, hearts in the fray
I'll keep burning till the end of my days
Chorus
Baby, I've been playing with fire
Reaching higher and higher
Feel the burn, every desire
Yeah, I'm playing with fire
Outro
The flames get higher, but I won't tire
Baby, I'm playing with fire
