[Verse 1] You wore that red dress, like a warning sign Sun on your shoulders, and you crossed my line Hotel wristband dangling, cheap ice in my cup One kiss by the pool, then you vanished up Left your perfume on my shirt, left your name in my head I was high on your laugh, now I sleep in your stead [Pre-Chorus] But I learned to breathe it out When the bass came down I don't chase that feeling now I just dance it out [Chorus] Fuego de agosto I let it go, I let it go Fuego de agosto You had your night, I got my glow Fuego de agosto I rise, I rise, I rise again Fuego de agosto Summer burned, but I didn't bend [Verse 2] Now I pass that corner bar with a smile, not a hit Same old song in the window but I don't trip on it You left salt on my collar like the tide in retreat I washed you off in the morning with the dust on my feet Friends say, “man, you changed” Yeah, I learned how to move Turned that hurt into motion Now I got something to prove [Pre-Chorus] But I learned to breathe it out When the bass came down I don't chase that feeling now I just dance it out [Chorus] Fuego de agosto I let it go, I let it go Fuego de agosto You had your night, I got my glow Fuego de agosto I rise, I rise, I rise again Fuego de agosto Summer burned, but I didn't bend [Bridge] Se fue, se fue Like a wave on the shore I don't look back What broke me, made me more Se fue, se fue I can handle the heat Watch me turn that goodbye Into gold at my feet [Final Chorus] Fuego de agosto I let it go, I let it go Fuego de agosto You had your night, I got my glow Fuego de agosto I rise, I rise, I rise again Fuego de agosto Summer burned, but I didn't bend
