I lit a match just to see what I'd lose Every scar glows like a memory's bruise They say healing comes when the pain lets go But I think I'd miss the flame, you know Cause peace feels like silence and silence is loud I talk to my ghosts, they're the best I've found The mirror don't lie, but it don't tell the truth I'm somewhere between me and you So burn me beautiful, make me feel alive Tear me apart just to prove I can survive If the ashes are all that's left tonight At least I can say I burn right I wear my heartbreak like it's high fashion Stitched in pain but tailored with passion I try to drown the noise inside But I learn to breathe where the monsters hide My heart's a weapon, dressed like art Loaded with love, it tears apart If breaking's the price of feeling real Then baby, I'll never heal So burn me beautiful, make me feel alive Tear me apart just to prove I can survive If the ashes are all that's left tonight At least I can say I burn right Every scream is just a prayer in disguise Every tear a truth I can't hide If I go down, let me go bright Let me die with the stars in my eyes Burn me beautiful, I'm not afraid to fall The fire's my church, I've confessed it all When the smoke clears, I'll still be small But God, I was something after all
