Burned by your love

We started like a fire in the rain,

Too wild to tame, too much to stay.

You said forever, then let it fade,

Now I’m the ashes of what we made.

Every word you spoke was sweet and sharp,

Cut me deep, straight through my heart.

You held me close, but I couldn’t breathe,

Love like poison underneath.

I tried to fix what you tore apart,

But you can’t heal with a broken heart.

I was burned by your love,

And I still feel the flame,

You lit me up, then walked away.

You said it’s love, but it felt like pain,

Now I’m standing in the wreckage of your name.

I was burned, burned by your love.

You kissed me with your eyes closed tight,

Afraid of truth, afraid of light.

I gave you all the best of me,

You took it all so carelessly.

You said I was your only one,

But your heart had room for everyone.

And I was blind, I couldn’t see,

You loved control more than me.

Now I’m stronger, but I still bleed,

You taught me pain was loyalty.

I was burned by your love,

And I still feel the flame,

You lit me up, then walked away.

You said it’s love, but it felt like pain,

Now I’m standing in the wreckage of your name.

I was burned, burned by your love.

Now the smoke is gone,

And I can finally see —

What you called love

Wasn’t love for me.

(Hold piano chord — silence for a bar)

But I’ll rise again,

From the fire you made,

You can keep your guilt —

I’ll keep my grace.

I was burned by your love,

But I found my flame,

I’ll light my world in my own name.

You said it’s love, but it felt like pain,

Now I’m walking out, unafraid.

I was burned,

But I’m not the same.

I was burned —

And I rose from the flame.

I was burned… but I rose from the flame.
