[Verse 1]
Whispers in the dark,
Eyes like knives against my spine.
I walked in loud,
But I was already out of line.
Held my breath and smiled,
Let the shame run through my veins.
Fell down hard,
But darling, I rose in flames.
[Pre-Chorus]
They don’t want truth,
They want the wreck.
So I drank the wine,
And gave them hell instead.
[Chorus]
I wasn’t made to fade,
I was made to burn.
You lit the match,
Now it’s your turn.
Let them stare, let them spin,
Let the fire draw them in—
I wasn’t made to break,
I was made to burn.
[Verse 2]
You said I looked wild,
But you were the one who watched.
Pulled me close like a secret,
Then handed me off.
They thought I was nothing,
Just a name in the background blur—
But I danced like thunder
In that dress you gave her.
[Pre-Chorus]
Call it chaos, call it fate,
But when I cracked, I turned to grace.
[Chorus]
I wasn’t made to fade,
I was made to burn.
You watched me rise,
Now feel the hurt.
Let the silence make you ache,
Let regret keep you awake—
I wasn’t made for shame,
I was made to burn.
[Bridge]
I saw the way he looked at me—
Like a war he couldn’t win.
You held the spark,
But he’s the one who let me in.
Now I don’t need your games,
Your shadows or your names.
I lit the match myself—
And I’ll never be the same.
[Final Chorus – stripped, then build]
I wasn’t made to fade,
I was made to burn.
Don’t need your arms,
Don’t wait your turn.
Let the world spin on its own,
I’ve got fire in my bones—
I wasn’t made to break,
I was made to burn.
[Outro – slow, soft]
So when you think of me…
Think of heat you couldn’t hold.
I wasn’t yours to save—
I was wildfire, uncontrolled.
