I’m On Fire – Ria Mae

Sleepless and cold nights,
Getting older and scared I didn’t
Follow through like I shoulda held down,
I should have tried harder
Got a roof, got a job, got a bed now
The hardest fights are the ones in my head now
Don’t wanna give up, don’t wanna let me down
I’m not there yet, but its alright now

Fire, ooh you should see me now
Ooh you should see me now
I’m on fire theres nothing you can say now
Nothing you can say now
I’m not there yet, ohh…
but its alright, its alright

Boyish kid, with sad eyes
In pain, and so shy
Wanted bigger things, full of hope
Outgrown small town nova scotia
Cross town to smoke with my straight friends
Downtown to drink with my gay friends
Never been somewhere where I fit in
I’m getting closer, I’m getting

I’m on fire, ooh you should see me now
Ooh you should see me now
I’m on fire theres nothing you can say now
Nothing you can say now

I got ghosts in the middle of the night
I got people trynna put out my light
But they don’t matter, they don’t matter
I got friends trynna break up my fight
All these strangers trynna steal my shine
But they gon have to try harder

Cause I’m on fire, ooh you should see me now
Ooh you should see me now
I’m on fire theres nothing you can say now
Nothing you can say now
I’m not there yet, ohh…
but its alright, its alright
I’m not there yet, ohh…
but its alright, its alright
I’m on
