My heart had fallen in my lap just as you spoke.
And I guess I made a bed out of my ashes.
But the purpose of it all has been tainted.
Guess you missed the part where I let go.
Yeah babe, I jumped off the mountain.
Talk about free fall?
After I realized I am not falling for you,
I was set free.

I was a butterfly in a rusted cage.
You gave me a black rose for it all.
I don't hate you,
I don't care to erase you.
I'll just keep walking tonight 
Farther and farther away from it all
Just like I did every other day
And I'll be just fine.

My soul needed self resuscitation,
I needed to be alone.
I might as well have walked the coldest nights barefoot,
Because I was numb.
Winter came and gone.
The coldest winds hit the core of my soul
And I grew naturally.
Like a flower in it's natural soil
Baby, I've been through sticks and stones,
But I don't bruise easily.

Take a taste,
I want you to know me.
Drink me,
You won't know what hit you.
And if you want me to,
I'll tell you my story.
I'm not that simple
No, I'm already this strong,
And sometimes, I'm still finding me.

I won't lie, you seem to wanna light the fuse.
I won't deny, you striked the match.
But there's something about you.... 

You are trying so hard to know me.
And your kiss will probably mislead me.
You love so much that I am not na�ve,
You love that my eyes can pierce right through.
You're the type to not wanna lose.

The sky is unusual tonight,
And I can't help wondering what's past the smoke.
You love my body,
And you love what I have to give.
I know you are hooked with every word I say.
I wonder if you want me fully to yourself,
So even if I leave,
I can be your little hall of fame.
My soul's erupting.
I may not be in the mood for "like",
But I'm definitely not in the mood for games.
So tell me baby, what's behind the smoke?
What's behind the smoke?

Does it hurt to know I'm not yours,
Or does it hurt more that someone else can sweep me up?
Do you just want to conquer so you can be proud of
yourself?
Oh how I want it so bad to rain tonight.


To call me your own,
Do you have what it takes?
Do you know how to take my heart on a ride?
How to shorten each breath I take?
Yet do you know how to make me feel like home?

My heart breathed in so much fire,
It took the rain to cool my skin.
Do you know what it's like to truly want me and me alone?
Are you curious to see how it is to love me and love me
alone?
Oh what's behind the smoke.
