Mm... Yeah... Some fires don’t explode... They live inside you. I wake up tired before the day begins Same four walls, same war within People ask me why I’ve changed How do I explain this kind of pain? (oh...) Got big dreams in a small bedroom Heart too loud for a life this quiet Everybody wants something from me But nobody asks why I’m fighting I laugh, I talk, I play it cool But some nights I barely move Too many thoughts I never show That’s how a soul starts burning slow I burn slow Like a candle nobody holds Smiling while my chest folds Trying not to lose control (don’t let go...) Burn slow Every scar left a hole But somehow made me strong Maybe pain’s where I belong (mm-mm...) I burn slow... Sometimes I miss who I was before Before fear slept beside my door Before I learned to hide my tears And carry everybody’s weight for years (for years...) They see fire in the way I speak But not the exhaustion underneath Being strong gets lonely too Nobody tells you the truth I got storms I never name Memories I can’t escape Still I stand when hope gets low Even broken hearts beat slow I burn slow Like a candle nobody holds Smiling while my chest folds Trying not to lose control (breathe... breathe...) Burn slow Every scar left a hole But somehow made me strong Maybe pain’s where I belong Maybe I was never cold Maybe I was just alone (just alone...) Maybe all this overthinking Turned my mind into smoke Maybe deep down I’m still that little kid Trying not to break I burn slow But I’m still alive somehow Still got fire in me now Still too stubborn to back down (ahh...) Burn slow And maybe that’s my power Turning pain into something louder Turning ashes into armor (slow... slow...) I burn slow.
