SET ME ON FIRE (AND CALL IT LOVE)

I was breathing… but it didn’t feel like air Just counting seconds, going nowhere Same walls, same pulse, same empty sound I was alive… but not living now Then you said my name like it meant something Like I wasn’t just passing through You hit like truth I couldn’t dodge No warning sign, no camouflage Every scar I tried to hide Lit up when you looked inside I was numb in a moving crowd Fake smiles just to drown it out But you cut through every lie I wore Like you’d seen me here before You don’t fix me—don’t even try You just stand there and make me feel alive You set me on fire and called it love Now I’m burning but I can’t get enough If this is pain then don’t wake me up I’d rather bleed than feel nothing at all You pull me close like a loaded gun Say “don’t run away”—but I’m already gone If this is love then I’ve been wrong ‘Cause this feels like where I belong You don’t speak like the rest of them No empty words, no counterfeit breath Every silence says enough Like we don’t need to dress it up I tried to run, yeah I tried to fade Back to the safe shit I always stayed But safe never felt this real Safe never made me feel You don’t save me—you let me fall But you’re right there through it all You set me on fire and called it love Now I’m burning but I can’t get enough If this is pain then don’t wake me up I’d rather bleed than feel nothing at all You pull me close like a loaded gun Say “don’t run away”—but I’m already gone If this is love then I’ve been wrong ‘Cause this feels like where I belong I DON’T WANT SAFE—I WANT REAL I WANT SOMETHING I CAN FEEL Rip me open—don’t let me hide I’ve been dead with my eyes wide If this kills me—let it be At least it meant something to me You’re the first thing that ever felt true… Not perfect—just… real You set me on fire and called it love Now I’m burning but I can’t get enough If this is pain then don’t wake me up I’d rather bleed than feel nothing at all You pull me close like a loaded gun Say “don’t run away”—but I’m already gone If this is love then I’ve been wrong ‘Cause this feels like where I belong If I’m burning… At least I know I’m alive
