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
