[Verse 1]
She walks in silence wrapped in flame,
Eyes like smoke that whisper names.
The room leans in but she steps wide,
Touch her wrong and you might die.
Her laugh is velvet — soft and thin,
But fear and fire coil within.
She’s hunger dressed in slow regret,
A melody you can’t forget.
[Pre-Chorus]
She said, “Wanting me is dangerous,”
But I’m already scorched and curious.
[Chorus]
Burn me gently, if you must,
Leave your shadow, leave your dust.
If the price of your touch is pain —
Then I’ll bear the blaze, again and again.
Burn me gently, not with rage,
Just enough to sear the cage.
You fear you'll kill what you adore —
But love was never safe before.
[Verse 2]
She sings like longing bottled tight,
Each note a spark, a scream in flight.
Crowds adore her, but don’t get close,
She gives the heat but not the ghost.
A siren drowning in her own spell,
She’s seen too much, remembers well.
But when I played, she didn’t flee —
She sang, unguarded, next to me.
[Pre-Chorus]
She said, “I burn what I hold too tight.”
But I’ve already stepped into the light.
[Chorus]
Burn me gently, let me in,
Even if I melt your skin.
I’d rather suffer than stay cold —
Better scorched than never hold.
Burn me gently, one more time,
Your fire's the rhythm beneath my rhyme.
Don’t close the door and walk away —
You already lit my name in flame.
[Bridge – stripped back, fragile vocals]
I know you're scared of what you are,
Your hands, your lips, your trailing scars.
But I see past the smoke and heat —
You're more than pain wrapped in a beat.
[Breakdown – whispered/echoed harmony]
“Don’t fall for me…”
“I’m too dangerous…”
“I burn what I love…”
“I want to believe you…”
[Final Chorus – soaring, emotional crescendo]
Burn me gently, don’t pretend,
This doesn't ache from start to end.
If you're fire, then let me flame,
If I’m the only one who says your name.
Burn me gently, it’s alright —
We were both born for this fight.
And even if we never touch —
You’re the only burn I trust.
[Outro – soft fade, piano and breathy voice]
Burn me...
Gently…
Love me…
Carefully…
