You pulled me into shadows
Where my heartbeat wasn’t safe
Told me fear was just a weapon
Told me pain could make me brave
Every step I took toward darkness
You were standing in the flame
And still you look at me like
You already knew my shame
Pre-Chorus
You asked for loyalty
But you wanted more than that
Wanted the part of me
I never planned to give back
Chorus
’Cause you burn me,
yet you save me,
twisting every truth I’ve ever known.
You break me,
but you crave me,
like the fire in me is yours alone.
In the ruins of the girl I was,
you whisper that I’m changed—
But you’re the reason
all that’s left of me
are ashes that know your name.
Verse 2
I feel your eyes like matches
Pressed too close against my skin
You say survival’s just a lesson,
Not the place where I begin
You push me toward the edge
Knowing damn well I’ll fall through
And when I do, I land
Exactly where you wanted me—
Right next to you
Pre-Chorus
You read the fear in me
Like a secret you’ve already kept
You say I’m dangerous—
But you’re the one I can’t forget
Chorus
’Cause you burn me,
yet you save me,
twisting every truth I’ve ever known.
You break me,
but you crave me,
like the fire in me is yours alone.
In the ruins of the girl I was,
you whisper that I’m changed—
But you’re the reason
all that’s left of me
are ashes that know your name.
Bridge
You call it survival
But I know what it is
You say it’s power
But it feels like a kiss
Every time you pull me deeper
Into the dark you claim is mine
I don’t know if I should hate you
Or thank you for the shine
Final Chorus
You burn me,
yet you save me,
pull me closer when I try to run.
You break me,
but you claim me,
like my heartbeat answers only one.
And in the ruins of the girl I was,
you swear I’m not the same—
But you’re the reason
all that’s left of me
are ashes whispering your name.
