Songtexte Child of Fire - Jessie Reyez

Good guy, so bad
You wanna be the good guy so bad
Well, L's for "lies" and L's for "loser" too
So I ain't cutting no slack
Begging me to p-p-pipe down
Nah, nah, I wanna fight now
Took for shit to be public for you to give a fuck
'Bout how it feels

Nothing but red flags and yellow tape
White chalk and I still stayed
Sound like it's my bad
Sound like my mistake, oh
If God is making the calls
Then God must be irony's roommate
'Cause the day that I'm finally ready
I'm scared that I feel like I'm too late

An angel asked me if I'm scared to fly
I said no, I said no, no, no, no, no, oh-oh
The devil asked me if I'm scared to die
I said no, I said no

I'm scared of love
I'm scared to open up
I'm scared of love
I'm scared to open up

I knew, I knew I heard war drums (yeah)
Don't be surprised, I got walls up (yeah)
Why would I try to empathise (yeah)
When it's very unlikely you tried something I didn't?
Good luck tryna tell me something
That I didn't know already (mm)
Broken and a little traumatized, a little Gemini
A little apathetic

Nothing but red flags and yellow tape (mm)
White chalk and I still stayed
But I never been afraid of accountability, yeah
If God is making the calls
Then God must be irony's roommate
'Cause now that I'm finally ready
I feel like I'm too late

An angel asked me if I'm scared to fly
I said no, I said no, no, no, no, no, oh-oh
The devil asked me if I'm scared to die
I said no, I said no

I'm scared of love
I'm scared to open up
I'm scared of love
I'm scared to open up

Are you scared of heights or flying? (Nope)
Are you scared of deep-sea diving? (Nope)
What about Lucifer's fire? (Nope)
Are you scared of heights or flying? (Nope)
Are you scared of deep-sea diving? (Nope)
What about Lucifer's fire? (Nope)
