[Verse 1]
You walked in
Like a match to a dry July
Cheap bar neon on your skin
But your eyes said “say goodbye”
You laughed low
Stole my drink and my last good sense
I knew better
Still I leaned into the fence
[Chorus]
I’m gettin’ burned alive by you
Holdin’ on to smoke I can’t hold onto
Every kiss is kerosene
You strike a spark
Then you leave
Yeah
I’m standin’ in this wildfire truth
Gettin’ burned alive by you
By you
By you (oh)
[Verse 2]
You call late
Screamin’ through a broken phone
Say you’re lost at some parade
But you never march alone
You say “baby
You’re the only one who knows my name”
Then hang up
And I light up just the same
[Chorus]
I’m gettin’ burned alive by you
Holdin’ on to smoke I can’t hold onto
Every kiss is kerosene
You strike a spark
Then you leave
Yeah
I’m standin’ in this wildfire truth
Gettin’ burned alive by you
By you
By you (hey)
[Bridge]
Maybe I like the pain
Maybe I chase the flame
Every time I swear I’m through
One “hey
You up?” and I fall back through
[Chorus]
I’m gettin’ burned alive by you
Holdin’ on to smoke I can’t hold onto
Every kiss is kerosene
You strike a spark
Then you leave
Yeah
I’m standin’ in this wildfire truth
Gettin’ burned alive by you
By you
By you (one more time)
Gettin’ burned alive by you
