Lyrics
BURNT IN MY HEART
[Verse 1]
Darkness has a way of taking
More than anybody owes
Turns two hearts that should’ve stayed close
Down two different roads
I kept thinking there’d be someday
When I’d finally get it right
But the years don’t stop for healing
And the clock don’t care who fights
There were seasons I went missing
Trying to outrun who I’d been
And every mile I put behind me
Couldn’t quiet you within
[Pre-Chorus]
‘Cause time won’t wait
For a soul to find its way
And love can’t make
Yesterday change
[CHORUS]
But you’re burnt in my heart
Like a name carved into stone
Like a fire that kept on breathing
Even when I wasn’t home
And the darkness tried to take us
Put a lifetime in between
But some things don’t stop belonging
Just because they’re rarely seen
So if you ever wonder
If the distance left a scar—
You were never gone from me
You were burnt in my heart
[Verse 2]
I missed pieces of your growing
That I can’t ask time to give
That’s the cruelest kind of knowing—
Some mistakes you have to live
There are photographs of moments
Where I should’ve been somehow
And I’d trade a thousand tomorrows
For five minutes of them now
But somewhere underneath the silence
Under everything we lost
I still hear a little lion
Learning how to fucking roar
[Pre-Chorus]
And maybe you grew strong
In places I couldn’t be
Maybe that’s the part
That’ll always break me
[CHORUS]
‘Cause you’re burnt in my heart
Like a name carved into stone
Like a fire that kept on breathing
Even when I wasn’t home
And the darkness tried to take us
Put a lifetime in between
But some things don’t stop belonging
Just because they’re rarely seen
So if you ever wonder
If the distance left a scar—
You were never gone from me
You were burnt in my heart
[Bridge — piano only]
I won’t tell you I was perfect
I won’t dress the past in white
There were times I chose the darkness
When I should’ve chose the light
And I hate that you were growing
While I learned how to survive
‘Cause the world kept turning without me
And you didn’t stay five
[music drops almost completely]
That’s the thing nobody tells you…
Children don’t wait
for you to become
who you should’ve been.
[build]
But if that lion in your chest
Ever tells you you’re alone
I hope something deep inside you
Still remembers where you’re known
[FINAL CHORUS]
You are BURNT IN MY HEART
Deeper than regret can go
Deeper than the years between us
Deeper than you’ll ever know
Let the darkness tell its story
Let it say we fell apart
It can have the years it stole from us
But it can’t have my heart
And if I never find the language
For the things I couldn’t change
Just know I carried you through every hell
Even when you couldn’t see my face
And wherever this life takes you
However far you are—
[hold]
There has always been a lion
Burning in my heart.
[Outro]
Time didn’t wait for me.
I know.
But love did.
