People caught in changing emotions. Changing from day to day.
In a world that's full of changing devotions, and no one seems to care what they say.
Words that cut so sharp and clean. Your heart lies open and bleeding.
But never will you hurt so deep, no never again!
But I say...

Chorus:
You've got to calm the fire before it gets too late.
You've got to calm the fire before it gets away.

A lover finds another head turning, and sometimes walking away.
Temptations and desires are burning in a world that's full of hearts gone astray.
Ah, but yes revenge is sweet. You're feeling empty and cheated.
They won't know what they can't see. Yes, two can play this game!
But I say...

(Repeat Chorus Twice)

Bridge:
Don't let the sun go down on your anger.
Put aside your hurt and pride.
Rather than losing someone you love.
Someone you love. Someone you love!

Hate can burn inside like a fire. One that isn't easily tamed.
Then bitterness becomes your attire, and soon your heart is never the same.
So when you think that you've been wronged you've got to look at your own faults
and see that we can't change what's come and gone.
You've got to learn to forgive and forget.

(Repeat Chorus)
