I'm going again
Running back and forth now
Trying to show them what I'm worth
And maybe I must proceed with caution
To approach this situation
I'm someone you can't push around
You can't throw me on the ground

[Chorus:]
I'm fighting the fire
Trying to burn it out
Trying now to worry about
This situation, on anticipation
I'm hanging on a cliff
And my body's all stiff
Trying hard to get by

The only noise I hear
Goes through and out my ear
I'm sick of being the one
That's there when the fights begin
It's seems like I can never win

[Chorus:]
I'm fighting the fire
Trying to burn it out
Trying now to worry about
This situation, on anticipation
I'm hanging on a cliff
And my body's all stiff
Trying hard to get by

I knew you would never stop
Until you got your way
That gives me a chance to say
Maybe this time
Me, myself, and I
Can finally carry on
Without you to rely on

[Chorus:]
I'm fighting the fire
Trying to burn it out
Trying now to worry about
This situation, on anticipation
I'm hanging on a cliff
And my body's all stiff
Trying hard to get by (x2)
