Lyrics of Burning by Lewis Capaldi
verse
Can't even begin to explain
This all too well familiar pain
It comes and it goes
But it gets in my bones all the same, mmh
pre-chorus
Well, maybe I'm a fool for falling in love with you
When I had nothing left to lose
And nothing more I could give, went down with your sinking ship
Now I don't think I'll make it through, through
chorus
Now it's only the beat of my heart
That reminds me not to stare at the sparks
Can't set fire to my soul just to keep ya, keep ya
Keep you from burning alone
chorus
'Cause the longer you convince me to stay
Our salvation's slipping further away
Can't set fire to my soul just to keep ya, keep ya
Keep you from burning alone
verse
Forget everything we've come to expect
It only serves to further f- with our heads
And I don't wanna pretend
This will all be alright in the end, ooh-ooh
pre-chorus
So maybe now, instead of balancing on the edge
We could put this to bed for good
Can call it quits or risk sinking with this broken ship
But I don't think we'd make it through, through
chorus
Now it's only the beat of my heart
That reminds me not to stare at the sparks
Can't set fire to my soul just to keep ya, keep ya
Keep you from burning alone
chorus
'Cause the longer you convince me to stay
Our salvation's slipping further away
Can't set fire to my soul just to keep ya, keep ya
Keep you from burning alone
bridge
I wish I could stay, I wish I could lie
Do whatever it takes to get you through the night
I can't be the one, I can't take the fall
Can't go up in the flames to keep your body warm
chorus
Now it's only the beat of my heart
That reminds me not to stare at the sparks
Can't set fire to my soul just to keep ya, keep ya
Keep you from burning alone
chorus
'Cause the longer you convince me to stay
Our salvation's slipping further away
Can't set fire to my soul just to keep ya, keep ya
Keep you from burning alone
Writer(s): Nicholas William Atkinson, Edward James Holloway, Lewis Marc Capaldi
