Lyrics for Verses:
I. You keep a lot of secrets II. You tell me you´re waiting III. You´re the needle in the hay
And I keep none For someone You´re the water at the door
Wish I could go back Who isn´t so hopeless You´re a million miles away
And keep some There´s no one Doesn´t matter anymore
Jennifer, you are not the only
reason
My head is boiling and my hands
are freezing
Jennifer you are not the only one
To sit awake until the wild
feelings leave you

Lyrics for Chorus:
I. You´re fireproof II. You´re fireproof III. You´re fireproof
Nothing breaks your heart Nothing breaks your heart Nothing breaks your heart
You´re fireproof You´re fireproof You´re fireproof
It´s just the way you are How´d you get so far It´s just the way you are
You´re fireproof
Nothing breaks your heart
You´re fireproof
Wish I was that way
