Burn With You Lyrics

[Verse 1]
We are broken, we can't fix it
There's no cure for our condition
Desperate eyes are starin' at me
Should be hopeless, but we're happy
It's not perfect here between us
Even angels have their demons
Trapped inside this twisted circle
It ain't right, but it's eternal

[Chorus 1]
There's a white light, and it's callin' me
And it's promisin' ecstasy
But I don't wanna go to heaven if you're goin' to hell
I will burn with you, I will burn with you

[Verse 2]
We're not healthy, barely breathing
But this pain keeps my heart beating
We are lost when we're together
But I'll follow you forever

[Chorus 1]
There's a white light, and it's callin' me
And it's promisin' ecstasy
But I don't wanna go to heaven if you're goin' to hell
I will burn with you, I will burn with you
I don't wanna go to heaven if you're goin' to hell
I will burn with you, I will burn with you
[Chorus 2]
I don't wanna dream without you
I don't wanna bleed without you
I'll do anything you want me to
'Cause I know you'll burn with me too
I don't wanna dream without you
I don't wanna bleed without you
I'll do anything you want me to
'Cause I know you'll burn with me too

[Chorus 1]
There's a white light, and it's callin' me
I don't wanna go to heaven if you're goin' to hell
I will burn with you, I will burn with you
I don't wanna go to heaven if you're goin' to hell (I don't wanna go)
I will burn with you, I will burn with you

[Chorus 2]
I don't wanna dream without you
I don't wanna bleed without you
I'll do anything you want me to
'Cause I know you'll burn with me too
I don't wanna dream without you
I don't wanna bleed without you
I'll do anything you want me to
'Cause I know you'll burn with me too
[Outro]
There's a white light, and it's callin' me

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

Genius Annotation

It’s easy to tell that Lea has love on her mind, and she revealed to Teen Vogue that this track was her boyfriend Cory Monteith’s favorite. “Burn With You” starts off as a soft, folkie number that morphs into a slow, warbled beat; the song tells the tale of two lovers who may not be right for each other, with dramatic lines like “I don’t want to go to heaven if you’re going to hell/ I will burn with you.”
