[Verse 1] You showed up like gold dust in the breeze Talked like a king, sold me dreams with ease I cashed in my doubts, gave it all for the thrill Wrote your name in the stars on a hundred-dollar bill [Pre-Chorus] But love was a gamble, and baby, I lost I paid in my trust, you counted the cost Now I'm standing here with ashes in my hands And all that glitter? Just part of your scam [Chorus] I was burning money just to feel the heat Built a fire from all my receipts You lit the match and watched me glow But I was the only one losing control Now I’m done playing rich in a broke-down game. game. game....... Your love was paper, going up in flames Oh, I was burning money— Your love was paper, going up in flames Oh, I was burning money— But now I’m saving me [Verse 2] All those gifts and empty praise Look good on camera, but not in the haze Of a love that costs more than it ever gave You can't buy forever, babe [Pre-Chorus] I charged it all to a card in my name And danced while the interest fed the flame But every lie, every midnight call Was just you building a house that was bound to fall [Chorus] I was burning money just to feel the heat Built a fire from all my receipts You lit the match and watched me glow But I was the only one losing control Now I’m done playing rich in a broke-down game.game. game. game....... Your love was paper, going up in flames Oh, I was burning money— Your love was paper, going up in flames Oh, I was burning money— But now I’m saving me [Bridge] No more glitter debt, no more high-cost lies No more tears in a dress that don't fit right You can keep the smoke, I’ll take the light 'Cause I’m not yours to buy [Final Chorus] I was burning money just to feel the heat But I’ve learned what freedom really means You lit the match, but I own the flame Now I walk away, not playing your game Done chasing gold in counterfeit skies......... I’m cashing out and saying goodbye Yeah, I was burning money— But now I’m saving me Yeah, I was burning money— But now I’m saving me [Outro – soft piano + echo vocals] Burning money... Saving me...
