Burn, My Love

[Verse 1] I kept your picture in the drawer Next to the matches and the bills I gave my name to every room I watched it rot along the sill You wore my jacket in the rain I gave you keys, I gave you bread I heard the first crack in the floor Before you turned and went to red [Pre-Chorus] And every hand I reached for Turned cold in mine Every sweet thing I kept Got marked for the fire line [Chorus] Burn in hell, my love Burn in hell Burn in hell, my love Burn in hell I watched the ones I held Fall through the veil Burn in hell, my love Burn in hell [Verse 2] My brother laughed with blood on his cuff My mother hummed beside the stove My only friend kept counting coins Then kissed the ash and chose the road I learned the names, I learned the loss I learned the taste of wanting more The carpet blackened underfoot When each goodbye became a door [Pre-Chorus] And every prayer I whispered Came back charred Every face I trusted Left me marked and scarred [Chorus] Burn in hell, my love Burn in hell Burn in hell, my love Burn in hell I watched the ones I held Fall through the veil Burn in hell, my love Burn in hell [Bridge] I do not ask for mercy I do not ask for grace I only keep the empty chairs And count the smoke your names replace Then one by one, they all arrived With soot on tongue and gold gone thin The gate swung shut behind their eyes And I was standing there within [Final Chorus] Burn in hell, my love Burn in hell Burn in hell, my love Burn in hell I watched the ones I held Fall through the veil Burn in hell, my love Burn in hell Burn in hell, my love Burn in hell
