Slow Burn

Compositor: Sadie Jean / Gabe Reali / LIXA

I think I know your secret
It's not as good as mine
Been lookin' for a reason
And comin' up dry

Why do I
Stick around, livin' off
The fantasy you put me on?
I swear it's real, but maybe not

You tell me that you want me usin' everything but words
And every single day you make me wait just makes it worse
You set my heart on fire, now I'm cryin' in the smoke
Tell me that you want me while I'm dying from this slow
Slow burn
Mm

When I think it's over
You don't say goodbye
Maybe when we're older
I won't be askin' why

Why do I
Stick it out through everythin'
When I should know better than?
I swear, it's real, but then again

You tell me that you want me usin' everything but words
And every single day you make me wait just makes it worse
You set my heart on fire, now I'm cryin' in the smoke
Tell me that you want me while I'm dying from this slow
Oh

It's been three years too long stuck in the backseat
Hand on my leg when you're drunk and I'm laughing
Tell all our friends that you're mad when I'm happy
What does that mean? What does that mean?
You walk me to the door and I see it
There, in your eyes, how could I not believe it?
Holdin' my breath, now I know that you're feelin'
How I'm feelin'

You tell me that you want me usin' everything but words
And every single day you make me wait just makes it worse, so
You set my heart on fire, now I'm cryin' in the smoke
Tell me that you want me while I'm dying from this slow
Slow burn
Oh, slow burn
Slow burn
