[Intro] I’ve been running from the mirror Tracing cracks along the glass Every promise getting thinner Every heartbeat fading fast [Verse 1] Empty bottle on the counter Blue light on at 3 AM I keep scrolling through the wreckage Every picture, every “when” Turned our future into fragments Scattered on my bedroom floor All the “always” all the “never” I don’t trust those words no more [Chorus] So burn it down, burn it down All the ghosts we were before Let it hurt, let it howl Till the echoes are no more If we’re falling, let us fall Through the fire, through the war ’Cause I believe in something small Like ashes on the dancefloor We could glow again once more [Verse 2] All my doubts are in the doorway Saying I should stay inside But your name’s a distant thunder Pulling me into the sky Yeah, I’m terrified of hoping But this darkness feels too tight If I crack my chest wide open Maybe we could share the light (oh) [Chorus] So burn it down, burn it down All the ghosts we were before Let it hurt, let it howl Till the echoes are no more If we’re falling, let us fall Through the fire, through the war ’Cause I believe in something small Like ashes on the dancefloor We could glow again once more [Bridge] What if every broken piece Is a star we haven’t seen What if every shattered dream Makes a space for new belief Take my fear, take my scars Write your name across the dark If we’re ruined, if we’re torn We’re still reaching for the morn(ing) [Chorus] So burn it down, burn it down All the ghosts we were before Let it hurt, let it howl Till the echoes are no more If we’re falling, let us fall Through the fire, through the war ’Cause I believe in something small Like ashes on the dancefloor We could glow again once more (once more)
