Slow Burn

Starin' at this old front seat

There's a picture there of you next to me

Man I burned that shit and left it in the street

'Cause it's how I used to be

I bought cigarettes 'cause you hated when I smoked

It wasn't nicotine that held me by the throat

Took my first free breath when you drove on down the road

It's how this story goes

We were a wildfire, dancin' on a livewire

Trying to fan the flames

Instead of getting cold

I spent a long time loving from the wrong side

Now I'm picking up the pieces you were never meant to hold

It's a slow burn letting go

Reasons were excuses that you bled

And the bar was so much better than our bed

I did my time and now I'm on parole

You don't need to know

We were a wildfire, dancin' on a livewire

Trying to fan the flames

Instead of getting cold

Spent a long time loving from the wrong side

Now I'm picking up the pieces you were never meant to hold

It's a slow burn letting go

We were a wildfire, dancin' on a livewire

Trying to fan the flames

Instead of getting cold

Spent a long time loving from the wrong side

Now I'm picking up the pieces you were never meant to hold

It's a slow burn letting go

It's a slow burn letting go

It's a slow burn letting go
