[Verse 1]
I'm caught in my curse, and I know that it hurts
When we're running forever in circles of hell
I'm so afraid you'll get tired of the pain but
I need you to save what I've left of myself
[Pre-Chorus]
Please don't leave me burning up
'Cause I don't mean to self-destruct
If you see I'm on fire, put me out
Now you see what I've become
And anybody else would run
But you know I don't wanna burn us down
[Chorus]
And if you don't make it stop
We'll be ashes by the morning, my love
Oh, if you don't make me stop
We'll be ashes by the morning, my love
[Verse 2]
I never wished for the damage I did
When the sky's falling in, I'm a slave to the storm
Hold on tight, through the night
'Til it's over, it's all that I want
[Pre-Chorus]
Please don't leave me burning up
'Cause I don't mean to self-destruct
If you see I'm on fire, put me out
Now you see what I've become
And anybody else would run
But you know I don't wanna burn us down
[Chorus]
And if you don't make it stop
We'll be ashes by the morning, my love
Oh, if you don't make me stop
We'll be ashes by the morning, my love
[Bridge]
So, hold on tight
Or we'll be ashes by the morning, my love
Hold on tight
Or we'll be ashes by the morning, my love
[Pre-Chorus]
Please don't leave me burning up
'Cause I don't mean to self-destruct
If you see I'm on fire, put me out
Now you see what I've become
And anybody else would run
But you know I don't wanna burn us down
[Chorus]
And if you don't make it stop
We'll be ashes by the morning, my love
Oh, if you don't make me stop
We'll be ashes by the morning
Ashes by the morning, my love
