The fire used to burn, all the words used to hurt
|
But you're not like us, you are different
|
I couldn't see that that was a compliment
|
Cause the last thing I want now is to be you
|
And the flames don't feel as hot as they use to
|
|
Burn, burn, burn
|
They used to yell
|
You thought I was coal
|
My friend, I'm gold
|
Can't you tell
|
|
Burn, burn, burn
|
They used to yell
|
You thought I was coal
|
My friend, I'm gold
|
Can't you tell
|
|
Cause I'm not weak, I'm not broken I am bold
|
And the fire you put me through turned me into gold
|
I'm not done, I'm no loser
|
Watch me take on my bright future
|
Tonight I'm no bronze I'm no silver
|
You'll be thinking, damn I knew her
|
But you didn't
|
Don't get it twisted
|
|
Out of the ashes you buried me in
|
I, I am golden
|
I, I am golden
|
|
You tried so hard to break me down
|
Like a fire breathing dragon, but I guess I took your crown
|
You pushed for me to change for you
|
But I'm so glad that I stayed true to who I am
|
|
Burn, burn, burn
|
They used to yell
|
You thought I was coal
|
My friend, I'm gold
|
Can't you tell
|
|
Burn, burn, burn
|
They used to yell
|
You thought I was coal
|
My friend, I'm gold
|
Can't you tell
|
|
Cause I'm not weak, I'm not broken I am bold
|
And the fire you put me through turned me into gold
|
I'm not done, I'm no loser
|
Watch me take on my bright future
|
Tonight I'm no bronze I'm no silver
|
You'll be thinking, damn I knew her
|
But you didn't
|
Don't get it twisted
|
|
Out of the ashes you buried me in
|
I, I am golden
|
I, I am golden
|
|
The fire that you tried to burn me with, it made me who I am
|
All the things that you said I couldn't do
|
Guess what, Yes I can
|
