about

"But my true love is grown to such excess
I cannot sum up sum of half my wealth."

lyrics

I never cared about the boys
Their poetry was just white noise
Until I heard those words from your lips
I saw you, and my face went pale
My butterflies, they all set sail
Was yours the face that launched a thousand ships?

I’m alive, I’m on fire
I’m a funeral pyre
Let it burn, let it burn, let it burn

I never really got love songs
They’re empty, I just hummed along
Until I saw the way you looked at me
Now something’s opened deep inside
The me I thought I knew has died
My heart is ten times what it used to be

I’m alive, I’m on fire
I’m a funeral pyre
Let it burn, let it burn, let it burn

Everything makes so much sense
When you’re living in the future tense
You never have to stop and question why

Everything I thought I knew
The things I always thought I'd do
They’re all lying here on the ground
I act like I’m a simple girl
But now I want to break the world
Just strike a match and watch it all burn down

I’m alive, I’m on fire
I’m a funeral pyre
Let it burn, let it burn, let it burn, let it burn, let it burn, let it burn, let it burn
