Standing Outside The Fire Lyrics

 (Jenny Yates, 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 flame 
 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 

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