I spent a long time thinking 'bout what you meant to me
And I've decided I was wrong
I fooled myself, thinking it was how it's supposed to be
I should've known it all along
Now I don't want to fight about it no more
It was all so clear to me, when I walked out the door
Loving you's like fire, but I'm tired of getting burned
It's been a long time coming baby, but the tables just got turned
'Cos you swallowed up my soul, and you wasted all my youth
The time has come to face it, it's the moment of truth
I'm amazed I let you do the things you did to me
But they say that love is blind
Now my ball & chain has melted away, and I feel 10 feet tall today
'Cos I've stolen back my mind, oh baby
I should've realised it years before
But now my satisfaction's guaranteed, without you that's for sure
Loving you's like fire, but I'm tired of getting burned
It's been a long time coming baby, but the tables just got turned
'Cos you swallowed up my soul, and you wasted all my youth
The time has come to face it, it's the moment of truth
I've waited a lifetime, but I'm finally on the track
Out of the dark into the sunshine, and I ain't going back
(Solo)
Loving you's like fire, but I'm tired of getting burned
It's been a long time coming baby, but the tables just got turned
'Cos you swallowed up my soul, and you wasted all my youth
The time has come to face it, it's the moment of truth
It's the moment of truth
The time has come to face it, the moment of truth, baby
