​wildfire Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Though I've been a mess since you met me
No, it's never felt this empty
Had the treelines shine in the night sky
Till it all burned down in a wildfire


[Pre-Chorus]
I had it all
You had my heart
We fell in love
And it fell apart

[Chorus]
And I know it's so one-sided
I'm sick of deciding
How it burns inside of me
Just let me breathe
Just let me breathe

[Verse 2]
We were both 18 when I told you
It'll all be fine when it's over
But your face lit up in the moonlight
When we both set fire to the skyline

[Pre-Chorus]
I had it all
You had my heart
We fell in love
And it fell apart
[Chorus]
And I know it's so one-sided
I'm sick of deciding
How it burns inside of me
Just let me breathe
Just let me breathe
Just let me breathe
Just let me breathe

[Outro]
I know it's so one-sided
I'm sick of deciding
How it burns inside of me
