Amelia Jordan - burn Lyrics

Half-past ten, drinks all on the floor
Beer in hands, but not in yours
Hold me close, then walk me to the door

Then it's... Smaller towns and longer drives
Drinking our coffee at midnight
Learning to love, in the little light

And I burn
I'm the candle, youre my oxygen.
Lifes the weakening trees
And you blew in with the wind

And I burn
In you I learned to believe
Cause our love isn't perfect
But it's just enough for me

When they called you an angel, I was quick to believe
Started counting the seconds, fitting you in between
'Cause love didn't stop you from wanting to leave

And you haunt every corner that left in my mind
In the space that I loved, in the space you defied
Where I held you like water,
Slipping through my fingers all the time.

And I burn
Just a flame in the palm of your hand.
A droplet of water,
A mouth full of sand.

And I yearn
For you I was too naive
Cause our love wasn't perfect
But it was enough for me

Now I'm half in the bottle
Just drinking my sorrow
A bandaid to cover a bruise

And this rug stained with wine
Spells how you were once mine
But all I have left is - my youth

And I held you so close
Too scared to let go
Of this life
For a bitter one...

'Cause it's you in my mind
Slowly wasting my time
But whats done is done
