1
There's a fire starting in my heart Reaching a fever pitch and it's bringing me out the dark
2
Finally I can see you crystal clear Go ahead and sell me out and I'll lay your ship in
3
See how I'll leave with every piece of you Don't underestimate the things that I will do
4
There's a fire starting in my heart Reaching a fever pitch and it's bringing me out the dark
5
The scars of your love remind me of us They keep me thinking
6
that we almost had it all The scars of your love,
7
they leave me breathless I can't help feeling we could've had it far We could've had it far
8
Falling in the deep We could've had it far Falling in
9
the deep You had my heart in the deep We could've
10
had it far We could've had it far We could've had it far Falling in the deep Baby,
11
I have no story to be told But I've heard one on you,
12
now I'm gonna make your head burn Think of me in the depths of your despair
13
Make a home down there as mine sure won't be shared
14
The scars of your love remind me of us They keep me thinking
15
if we almost had it all The scars of your love,
16
they leave me dead Cause I can't help feeling We could've
17
had it fine I wish you I wish you I wish
18
you I wish you I wish you I wish you I wish you I wish you I wish you, that I met me, you had my heart in the deep I wish you,
19
that I met me, you played it to the beat I could have had it far,
20
I was in the deep You had my heart in front of your head But you played it with a beating
21
Know your soul through every open door
22
Count your blessings to find what you look for Turn my sorrow into treasured gold
23
You'll pay me back in kind and reap just what you sow If I wish you,
24
if I'm ready to go If I'm ready to go, I'm rolling in me If I wish you,
25
if I'm ready to go If I'm ready to go, I'm ready to go We could've had it all We could've had it all
26
We could've had it all You had my heart to show We could've had it all You played it to the beat
27
You had my heart to stay But you played it,
28
you played it, you played it,
29
you played it to the beat Thank you.

What is the Shadowing Technique?
Shadowing is a science-backed language learning technique originally developed for professional interpreter training and popularized by polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. The method is simple but powerful: you listen to native English audio and immediately repeat it out loud — like a shadow following the speaker with just a 1–2 second delay. Unlike passive listening or grammar drills, shadowing forces your brain and mouth muscles to simultaneously process and reproduce real speech patterns. Research shows it significantly improves pronunciation accuracy, intonation, rhythm, connected speech, listening comprehension, and speaking fluency — making it one of the most effective methods for IELTS Speaking preparation and real-world English communication.
