A song about a lost friendship

Standing in the fire 
by Lilli A. 

You were like a shadow
that followed me in the sun.
But when I stood in darkness,
Somehow you always were gone.

It hurts to let it go
like you did long time ago
when you dragged my name through muck and mire.
 
I'm standing in the fire. 
I am burning (inside)
and you’ve inflamed 
my pain.

I'm standing in the fire 
that you lit.
I’ve had enough of it it!
I quit (and I’ll walk away).
 
We were never right for each other.
I’ve learned the hard way, of course.
I blame myself for expecting too much.
My mind is trying to understand yours.

It's good to let it go.
Should've done so long time ago
when you dragged my name through muck and mire.

I'm standing in the fire. 
I am burning (inside)
and you’ve inflamed 
my pain.

I'm standing in the fire 
that you lit.
I’ve had enough of it it!
I quit.

I know they say never say never,
I just don’t see us together.
I don’t wanna see your face again
cause you are no longer my friend.
nana na naa na naa na na na
nana na naa na naa na na na.
I don’t wanna see your face again
cause you are no longer my friend.

I'm standing in the fire 
I'm standing in the fire 
I'm standing in the fire 
that you’ve inflamed.

I'm standing in the fire 
I'm standing in the fire 
I'm standing in the fire.

Standing In The Fire

The perspective of someone who is at constant loss, and the effort of pushing back against the many challenges of a brutal and cruel life. Lost - Lonely - Left Astray (Three key words to understand this song at a deeper level).

Habits Came to Me is a song inspired by my husband who has always been by my side and helped me to become my best self. The habits I used to get through challenging times (while useful at the time) no longer serve a purpose.

Music has always been an escape for me. In the most challenging times of my life, when nothing and nobody was there, I turned to music. From Five Finger Death Punch (the band that I played on repeat 24/7 for months post op each time) to George Strait (my childhood idol) I am grateful to have relatable music that I truly feel helped me survive. 

I wish to give back to the music community by sharing my experiences and suffering in hopes of being relatable and beneficial to someone just hanging on. I’m forever grateful to all of the artists that have changed my life for the better. 

I am now a published author and lyricist with over 20 years of writing experience. Music is my ultimate passion, and I love to write and sing. I’m also learning the Ukulele! Check out our work so far 😃🎵
