Standing Outside The Fire

~Garth Brooks~

We call them cool those hearts that have no scars to show

The ones that never do let go and risk the tables being turned

We call them fools who have to dance within the flames

Who chance the sorrow and the shame that always comes with getting burned

But you've got to be tough when consumed by desire

Cause it's not enough just to stand outside the fire

We call them strong those who can face this world alone

Who seem to get by on their own

Those who will never take the fall

We call them weak who are unable to resist

The slightest chance love might exist

And for that, forsake it all

They're so hell bent on giving, walking a wire

Convinced it's not living if you stand outside the fire

Standing outside the fire, standing outside the fire

Life is not tried, it is merely survived if you're standing outside the fire

There's this love that is burning deep in my soul

Constantly yearning to get out of control

Wanting to fly higher and higher

I can't abide standing outside the fire

Standing outside the fire, standing outside the fire,

Life is not tried, it is merely survived if you're standing outside the fire
