Lyrics:

[English]

I still burn for you, like the sun burns in the sky

I still burn for you

I still burn for you, my whole life I've been on fire

I still burn for you

Up in flames, up in flames

Light a match and put it to my name

Up in flames, I still burn for you

Every time I think I had enough of this (hey)

I get more addicted, yeah, I'm so obsessed (ooh, yeah)

Talk about you all the time, I am your narcissist

Well, if we burn it down, you'll be my arsonist

I still burn for you, like the sun burns in the sky

I still burn for you (burn for you, burn for you)

I still burn for you, my whole life I've been on fire

I still burn for you

I'm so strung out on you, I might relapse (I might relapse)

I'm dyin' for a taste, please God, don't let this last (please God, don't let this last)

And you've been burnin' all of the leaves on palm trees

I'm left with nothing more than ashes

Fallin' to the ground like snowflakes

I almost wished we never happened

I still burn for you, like the sun burns in the sky

I still burn for you (burn for you)

I still burn for you (burn for you, burn for you)

My whole life I've been on fire

I still burn for you (burn for you)

Up in flames, up in flames

Light a match and put it to my name

Up in flames, I still burn for you

Up in flames, up in flames

Light a match and put it to my name

Up in flames, I still burn for you

Up in flames, up in flames

Light a match and put it to my name

Up in flames, I still burn for you
