I used to burn for people, used to burn so warm Handed them the match, let them watch me fall They smiled while they lit it, called it love, called it trust Now the only warmth I trust is turning things to dust Don't come near me with your open hand I've seen what kindness looks like, understand I am the fire, I don't need your light I burn alone and I like the fight Get in my way, you'll regret it soon I stopped believing in anyone's tune Fifteen and bleeding, friends became the blade I rose up burning from the choice they made Now the crowd's just noise, the world's just smoke Every hand that reaches, I already broke Don't come near me with your open hand I've seen what kindness looks like, understand I am the fire, I don't need your light I burn alone and I like the fight Get in my way, you'll regret it soon I stopped believing in anyone's tune Maybe there's a version of me that could've stayed soft But that girl died the night they turned it off I don't miss her, I don't miss her— (quiet) ...I don't miss her I am the fire, I make my own light I burn alone, and I win every fight Stay back, or step into the flame Trust isn't a word I say again Ash and fire, that's all I am now Ash and fire—no one taught me how
