[Verse 1]
[M]
I got smoke in my lungs
From a house I call my head
Every door I hit is locked
Every thought is like lead
I been running from my name
Like it stole my last breath
If you see me, don't stare
I might fall through the steps
[Pre-Chorus]
[M]
I don't need a hero
I need a hand that stays
Something warm in the dark
Something real in the break
[Chorus]
[M]
Don't let me burn alone
Don't let me burn alone
If I come undone, stay close
Don't let me burn alone
[W]
I see the fire on you
I see the war in your eyes
I can be your way out
I can be your future light
(Mm-mm) don't let me burn alone
[Verse 2]
[F]
I see you across the room
Like a storm with a face
You keep wearing that hurt
Like it's welded in place
I want to learn your scars
Not just the ones you show
If you let me get near
I can help you come home
[Pre-Chorus]
[F]
You don't have to be perfect
You don't have to be brave
I can hold what you can't
I can meet you in the rain
[Chorus]
[M]
Don't let me burn alone
Don't let me burn alone
If I come undone, stay close
Don't let me burn alone
[W]
I see the fire on you
I see the war in your eyes
I can be your way out
I can be your future light
(Mm-mm) don't let me burn alone
[Bridge]
[M]
If I hand you my ruin
Would you still take my name?
Would you stay when it shakes
Would you love me anyway?
[F]
Yeah, I would walk through it
Yeah, I would carry your weight
We can build from the ashes
We can make something safe
[Final Chorus]
[M]
Don't let me burn alone
Don't let me burn alone
If I come undone, stay close
Don't let me burn alone
[W]
I see the fire on you
I see the war in your eyes
I can be your way out
I can be your future light
[Both]
Don't let me burn alone
Don't let me burn alone
(Mm-mm) don't let me burn alone
