Burn With Me
(Verse One)
Alone’s my new reality, one I cannot escape
I see you walk away, I know that I made this my fate
I hated you for leaving but I pushed you to the door
I need to let you go and pick myself up off the floor
I’ve clung to the last thread but that thread’s about to snap
I need reality to give me one big stinging slap
I have to shake myself until I’m finally awake
I need to put my foot down and slam hard down on the brakes
(Pre Chorus)
When someone who’s not me is the one that’s screaming no
That’s when I know that it is time for me to let them go
I'll bathe in gasoline and wonder why you have the smell
I set the world on fire try to match my inner hell
(Chorus)
I burned the bridge and burned you out
I’m filled with every ounce of doubt
I’ve fucked it up, I can’t fix shit
I’ve done damage, that I admit
I play with fire on my palms
I detonate each ticking bomb
I’m setting fire, setting free
You shouldn’t have to burn with me
(Verse Two)
Letting go is hard, but it’s something we all face
It’s one of the pains that I find hardest to embrace
I know that once I let you go I won’t see you again
Me not dying is what killed off all my bonds with friends
I’m damned to live this life, damned to live this life alone
Ripped away from any broken room I could call home
I’m just a girl who’s lost, I’m all the way back at square one
I thought that life was over but it has just now begun
(Pre Chorus)
When someone who’s not me is the one that’s screaming no
That’s when I know that it is time for me to let them go
I'll bathe in gasoline and wonder why you have the smell
I set the world on fire try to match my inner hell
(Chorus)
I burned the bridge and burned you out
I’m filled with every ounce of doubt
I’ve fucked it up, I can’t fix shit
I’ve done damage, that I admit
I play with fire on my palms
I detonate each ticking bomb
I’m setting fire, setting free
You shouldn’t have to burn with me
(Bridge)
I’ve wiped off my full slate and set it back to clean
My skin is thin, uncalloused feeling every scratch of mean
I wish I had support but I’m walking on my own
It took me almost dying to start to feeling I’ve grown
The others grew much taller we’re not seeing eye to eye
They don’t ever look down, to the past they’re going blind
Their scars have all healed while I’m still wrapped up in gauze
All that’s left a mirror showing me the real cause
