A fire dance in the wicked rain
Hope is ashes up in flames
But the way we are ain't the way we'll stay
A shadow hides where the sun don't reach
And it's hard to practice what we preach
But these promises we'll someday keep
Ooh, someday you will let me show you
Ooh, caught between the what I've done and the good I'll do
I touched your heart and I turned it black
And you swear that you ain't coming back
I made it more than what I lack
Ooh, someday you will let me show you
Ooh, caught between the what I've done and the good I'll do
The good I'll do
Oh, the good I'll do
Ooh, someday you will let me show you
Ooh, caught between the what I've done and the good I'll do
Someday you will let me show you
Ooh, caught between the what I've done and the good I'll do
