If life's a game
Then I'm the underdog
No one expects me to be on the prowl
If life's a parade
Won't be the beauty queen
You will never see me in a crown
Fire, fire, fire away
Pull the right plug and I explode
Fire, fire, fire away
Ready or not, it's time to go
I don't care if I am
Not your type
Not your favorite
Kind of hype
Acting
And pretending
Is such a wasted sin
The more I love myself
The more I win
If life is a stage
I'd shoot the spotlight down
Don't need the attention on me
If life's an ocean
I'm the crashing waves
I don't need your garbage in my sea
Fire, fire, fire away
Pull the right plug, and I explode
Fire, fire, fire away
Ready or not, it's time to go
I don't care if I am
Not your type
Not your favorite
Kind of hype
Acting
And pretending
Such a wasted sin
The more I love myself
The more I win
I'm an introvert
With a giant fuse
A double-edged sword
With nothing to lose
Fire, fire, fire away
Fire, fire, fire away
Fire, fire, fire away
Light the match
And watch me go
