Lyrics of Stop This Flame by Celeste
intro
Hmm
verse
My heart goes up, my heart goes down
We fall in love and we fall back out
I′ll give you anything you want, anything you want
Anything, anything, just don't tell me, "No"
You stop it still, then you make it rush
You′re like a pill that I just can't trust
pre-chorus
You tell me to stop, but I keep on going
Tell me to stop, but I keep on going
Tell me to stop, but I keep on going
Keep on, keep on, keep on
chorus
You'll never stop this flame, I will never let you go
Well, who am I to say?
Maybe by now you should know
You got your somebody calling
You think you′re somebody, don′t you?
I think you're scared of keeping somebody close
You′ll never stop this flame, I will never let you go
verse
Wasn't it enough? Or did I move too fast?
It′s all too much
I think I must be mad to give you
Everything I had
Everything I had
Everything, everything, but it still went bad
pre-chorus
Tell me to stop, but I keep on going
Tell me to stop, but I keep on going
Tell me to stop, but I keep on going
Keep on, keep on, keep on
chorus
You'll never stop this flame, I will never let you go
Well, who am I to say?
Maybe by now you should know
You got your somebody calling
You think you′re somebody, don't you?
I think you're scared of keeping somebody close
You′ll never stop this flame, I will never let you go
bridge
Keep away from me if you can′t withstand my love
Keep away from me, away from me if you think you must
Keep away from me if you can't withstand my love
Keep away from me, away from me if you think you must
chorus
You′ll never stop this flame, I will never let you go
Well, who am I to say?
Maybe by now you should know
You got your somebody calling
You think you're somebody, don′t you?
I think you're scared of keeping somebody close
You′ll never stop this flame, I will never let you go

Meaning
The song 'Stop This Flame' by Celeste portrays a tumultuous relationship where the singer feels unable to break free despite knowing it may not be healthy. The repeated plea to 'stop' juxtaposed with the determination to 'keep on going' reflects the internal conflict of wanting to let go but being unable to do so, possibly due to fear of loneliness or attachment.
