El Fuego y La Piedra

What people say
I keep it inside
Afraid of being torn apart
Hardened on the inside
Searching for the center of it all
I found you along the way

If I jump, you jump
You’re not scared of failing
You give weight to the reason
I lost faith over time
But you’ve come to save me
From being my own enemy

It’s the story of the fire and the stone
When fear brings them together and pulls them apart

Stone screams to burn it strong, burn it strong without a voice
Fire burns because it’s been taught to burn since it was born

How weak I feel in failure
When I’m close to you
It won’t matter what’s happened
You touch my skin like the wind
I feel like I’m living the moment
I’m sensitive with you

The math is simple
When it comes to love
You multiply the noise
Of my battle scars
I’ve got none left
They’ve disappeared because of you

And you stay to see me
Even when the devil whispers
You make it go away
Just like it came
You forgive me for the time
I didn’t know how to be your shelter
No one could pull the bullets
From this wounded heart

They stayed for my flowers
But not for my roots
And in autumn they left
They didn’t know what to do with me
A poorly thrown stone
Can take down a kingdom
And placed just right
Can build you a castle

It’s the story of the fire and the stone
When fear brings them together and pulls them apart

Stone screams to burn it strong, burn it strong without a voice
Fire burns because it’s been taught to burn since it was born

Stone screams to burn it strong, burn it strong without a voice
Fire burns because it’s been taught to burn since it was born
