Lyrics

[VERSE 1]
I feel the seconds slipping through my fingers
like ash that used to burn but won’t stay lit
Every promise tastes like borrowed time now
every heartbeat feels like counterfeit
You look at me like I’m salvation
but you don’t know the cost of getting close
I’m not the light you think you’re chasing—
I’m the spark that burns the ones who hope

[PRE-CHORUS]
Don’t mistake my glow for safety
don’t confuse my touch with truth
I’m a warning wrapped in beauty—
I’m the end that’s calling you

[CHORUS]
Don’t fall for me, I’m fading fast
a dying flame that won’t outlast
I’ll pull you in, I always do—
but I can’t promise I won’t ruin you
Don’t fall for me, don’t lose your way
I’m running out of light to save
If you love me, love the danger in my name—
not the radiance you think you see in me

[VERSE 2]
I’ve lived my life like every breath’s a gamble
a prophecy I never asked to bear
I move like I’m already half a shadow
a ghost pretending she’s still there
You think you see the girl beneath the armor
but you’re only seeing what I let you see
I’m not a dream you get to rescue
I’m the storm that tears you from your sleep

[PRE-CHORUS]
Don’t mistake my glow for mercy
don’t confuse my fear with need
I’m a truth that cuts too deeply—
I’m the wound that makes you bleed

[CHORUS]
Don’t fall for me, I’m fading fast
a dying flame that won’t outlast
I’ll pull you in, I always do—
but I can’t promise I won’t ruin you
Don’t fall for me, don’t lose your way
I’m running out of light to save
f you love me, love the danger in my name—
not the radiance you think you see in me

[BRIDGE]
I’m not your cure, I’m not your fate
I’m not the one who’s meant to stay
If you reach for me, you’ll lose your grip—
I’m the edge you’re not supposed to slip
I want someone to choose me true…
but gods, I’m terrified that someone might

[FINAL CHORUS]
Don’t fall for me, I’m fading fast
a dying flame that won’t outlast
I’ll pull you in, I always do—
but I can’t promise I won’t ruin you
Don’t fall for me, don’t lose your way
I’m running out of light to save
If you love me, love the woman in the dark—
not the radiance that’s tearing me apart
