Fire at Me

(Vibe: “Fire Away” — emotional confrontation; twist: soldier ready for honesty)Tone: Bold, wounded, emotionally fierce**
Verse 1
Go on, say the things you’ve been holding tight,I’ve survived worse than a lover’s fight.I’ve stood in blast waves, flames and fear,But nothing hits harder than you not being here.Your eyes look loaded with truth you hide,And I’m done dodging what you keep inside.If we’re gonna break, then let it be real—No sugarcoating the way we feel.
Verse 2
I know I changed when I came back home,Walked like a ghost in a crowd alone.You learned to tiptoe around my moods,To hold your breath when silence brewed.I don’t want love built on quiet lies,Or half-truth glances from tired eyes.Unload the pain, the fear, the rage—Let your heart spill on this page.
Pre-Chorus
Whatever you’re hiding, don’t delay—My chest is open… fire away.
Chorus
Fire at me if you want to,Break my walls, cut straight through.Tell me the hurt, the things you feel,The words you swallow trying to heal.I can take the fallout if it’s true—Fire at me… but don’t withdraw from you.
Bridge
Sometimes the truth can burn like hell—But it’s the only way two hearts heal well.
