Made to Burn

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.

They don’t want truth,

They want the wreck.

So I drank the wine,

And gave them hell instead.

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.

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.

Call it chaos, call it fate,

But when I cracked, I turned to grace.

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.

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.

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.

So when you think of me…

Think of heat you couldn’t hold.

I wasn’t yours to save—

I was wildfire, uncontrolled.
