[Pre-Chorus]
She said I was wildfire,
Too much for her hands to hold
Now I'm staring through the rearview
At the bridge I watched explode

[Chorus]
I’m burning —
Like a cigarette left on the dash
Like the pages from a past I can’t rewrite
Burning —
Like that red dress night in July
She kissed me hard then walked outta my life
No smoke alarm can save me this time
I’m burning, burning
And she don’t even try

[Verse 2]
She moved on like it’s Sunday
Sippin’ sweet tea with someone new
I’m stuck in this Monday heartbreak
Where nothing feels brand new
Could’ve sworn I’d be the fire
That kept her warm through every storm
But turns out I’m just the lighter
She used and then ignored

[Pre-Chorus]
They warned me love can blind ya
And I was lookin’ straight at the flame
Now I’m curled up in the silence
Screamin’ her name in vain

[Verse 3]
Saw her name on that barroom screen
Some new guy wrapped 'round her waist
A toast in hand like nothin’ stings —
I felt my breath go up in flame
I ain’t mad, just hollowed out
Like a matchstick burnt in half
Wish I never learned what love’s about
If it always ends like that

[Bridge]
You said, “Don’t play with fire,”
But hell, I thought I was flameproof
Now the smoke in my lungs
Is the only thing that feels like you

[Final Chorus]
I’m burning —
Like the tail light fading down the road
Like the dreams we had goin’ up in smoke
Burning —
Like your name branded in my pride
Tried to douse it but I can't let it die
No water, no whiskey kills this high
I’m burning, burning
And she don’t even try

[Outro]
I’m still burnin’, burnin’, yeah I’m burnin’
Still burnin’, burnin’, burnin’, yeah I’m burnin’
Yeah
She left me burnin’
Oh-oh
Still burnin’, burnin’, burnin’ — can't put it out
Still burnin’, burnin’, no way around
Yeah
I’m burnin’
Burnin’ down

[Verse 1] Used to light her smoke with a smile Now she lights my name like a match Every word she said’s in a pile Of ash I can't take back Her perfume’s still in my flannel But the heat don't feel like love She left a scar I can't handle Now I'm drinking just because [Pre-Chorus] She said I was wildfire, Too much for her hands to hold Now I'm staring through the rearview At the bridge I watched explode [Chorus] I’m burning — Like a cigarette left on the dash Like the pages from a past I can’t rewrite Burning — Like that red dress night in July She kissed me hard then walked outta my life No smoke alarm can save me this time I’m burning, burning And she don’t even try [Verse 2] She moved on like it’s Sunday Sippin’ sweet tea with someone new I’m stuck in this Monday heartbreak Where nothing feels brand new Could’ve sworn I’d be the fire That kept her warm through every storm But turns out I’m just the lighter She used and then ignored [Pre-Chorus] They warned me love can blind ya And I was lookin’ straight at the flame Now I’m curled up in the silence Screamin’ her name in vain [Chorus] I’m burning — Like a cigarette left on the dash Like the pages from a past I can’t rewrite Burning — Like that red dress night in July She kissed me hard then walked outta my life No smoke alarm can save me this time I’m burning, burning And she don’t even try [Verse 3] Saw her name on that barroom screen Some new guy wrapped 'round her waist A toast in hand like nothin’ stings — I felt my breath go up in flame I ain’t mad, just hollowed out Like a matchstick burnt in half Wish I never learned what love’s about If it always ends like that [Bridge] You said, “Don’t play with fire,” But hell, I thought I was flameproof Now the smoke in my lungs Is the only thing that feels like you [Final Chorus] I’m burning — Like the tail light fading down the road Like the dreams we had goin’ up in smoke Burning — Like your name branded in my pride Tried to douse it but I can't let it die No water, no whiskey kills this high I’m burning, burning And she don’t even try [Outro] I’m still burnin’, burnin’, yeah I’m burnin’ Still burnin’, burnin’, burnin’, yeah I’m burnin’ Yeah She left me burnin’ Oh-oh Still burnin’, burnin’, burnin’ — can't put it out Still burnin’, burnin’, no way around Yeah I’m burnin’ Burnin’ down
