Well I've been afraid to hold you, Cause I've heard you burn, leave ashes
I've been afraid to welcome you, Cause I've heard you tear apart
But I've also heard you're sweet like honey, you make life delightful
I've also heard you're a great companion, you make life less lonely
So burn me if you will, I don't care,
I don't wanna die alone
oh, oh, oh, oh, yeah, yeah
Watch me now as I let fear go, I am determined to hold you,
Watch me run with desire, Cause I've got nothing to lose
Cause I've heard you're sweet like honey, you make life delightful
I've heard you're a great companion, you make life less lonely
So burn me if you will, I don't care,
I don't wanna die alone
oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, yeah, yeah
So I'm letting go of fear, I'm letting go of pain, I'm letting go of anything, anything in my way
I'm letting go, letting go, letting go, letting go, I'm letting go
So burn me if you will, I don't care, I'm gonna rise
Burn me if you will, I don't care, I'm gonna rise
I’m gonna rise, I’m gonna rise, I’m gonna, I am…
I’m gonna rise, I am, Iam, I’m gonna rise
So burn me if you will, I don't care, I'm gonna rise
