Let it burn 9

Verse

Paper crackles where your palm just lay

Coffee rings that won't fade away

Four A.M. and the block is still

Windows painted amber like a field

Pre-Chorus

So tell me why this ache feels right

Why I'm holding on to what's not mine tonight

Chorus

Let it burn, let it rise

Every ending that turns into light

Burning low but catching fire

I was built for this kind of goodbye

So let it burn, let it break

Into something worth the ache

Hold me closer while it falls apart

This is how we mend a broken heart

Verse

Your jacket still smells like the sea

Collar flipped up on the hood of my bike

Three blocks down the street the neon's dead

But your ghost keeps dancing with mine

Pre-Chorus

So tell me why this ache feels right

Why I'm holding on to what's not mine tonight

Chorus

Let it burn, let it rise

Every ending that turns into light

Burning low but catching fire

I was built for this kind of goodbye

So let it burn, let it break

Into something worth the ache

Hold me closer while it falls apart

This is how we mend a broken heart

Bridge

Maybe endings are just doors I'm too scared to close

Maybe holding on's the only way I know

To keep your heat inside this chest that's hollow as a drum

So let it burn, let it rise, come back as light, and then

Chorus

Let it burn, let it rise

Every ending that turns into light

Burning low but catching fire

I was built for this kind of goodbye

So let it burn, let it break

Into something worth the ache

Hold me closer while it falls apart

This is how we mend a broken heart

Outro

Let it rise

Still burning, still mine
