[Intro – 4 Bars]
(Ambient vocal loops, distorted crowd sounds)
Burn me once,
But don’t forget my name…
[Verse 1]
(Low, brooding vocal over moody chords)
I watched you like a secret,
Never meant to stay quiet.
Every glance you didn’t give me
Just set my fuse on fire.
Tried to move like I was over it,
Tied my ego in a knot.
But every time you looked right through me,
I unraveled on the spot.
[Pre-Chorus]
(Build tension, layered harmonies creeping in)
You didn’t need to speak,
Just owned the air I breathe.
And when you lit that mic?
Yeah, I forgot how to fight.
[Chorus]
(Full beat drop, dark pop chorus melody — catchy & haunting)
You burned my name into the crowd,
Tore me open, screaming loud.
I stood there — no defense,
While you made my pride make sense.
You don’t play fair, that’s clear,
But I still chase you here.
So go on, girl —
Burn my name.
Let it echo, let it flame.
[Verse 2]
(A little more rhythm here, vocals lean into it)
I thought I was the story,
The one they’d never roast.
But then you turned the spotlight
And danced across my ghost.
I heard your voice like thunder,
With lipstick on the steel.
And every eye that laughed at me
Just made your power real.
[Pre-Chorus 2]
(Pull back instrumentation to just heartbeat pulse)
I wore the crown, the game,
You left me with the blame.
And when you dropped that mic —
Yeah, I forgot how to fight.
[Chorus – Repeat]
You burned my name into the crowd,
Tore me open, screaming loud.
I stood there — no defense,
While you made my pride make sense.
You don’t play fair, that’s clear,
But I still chase you here.
So go on, girl —
Burn my name.
Let it echo, let it flame.
[Bridge]
(Slow piano + vocal build — confessional tone)
Maybe I needed breaking.
Maybe shame can teach.
But you never had to touch me —
To leave that kind of heat.
And now I’m chasing silence,
Trying to forget…
The moment I became your target —
And you never missed.
[Final Chorus – Soft, then layered repeat]
Burn my name into the crowd,
Let me drown without a sound.
I stood still — played your game —
Now I’ll never feel the same.
Say it louder, let it sting,
You can wear my suffering.
If I fade, just do one thing —
Burn my name.
[Outro – Whispered or Spoken Over Fade]
(Almost no music — room tone + faint reverb)
That’s how legends die…
Not with silence,
But with fire.
