j. maya - slow burn lyrics

[verse 1]
i used to think that love was like the stories
a princess feeling lonely
trapped inside a tower
so desperate that she put herself in danger
made saviors out of strangers
and gave ’em all the power

[pre+chorus]
but then, you made me wonder
where’s the horse? where’s the armor?
tell me, how come there’s no dragons in these halls?
[chorus]
i thought i had to die for you lovе me
thought that peace could only comе from war
thought i had to break down to be found
that it could only work if it hurts
thought i had to set myself on fire
if i ever wanted to be warm
but you give me a slow burn
hmm

[verse 2]
so used to leaving teardrops on the pages
watching battles rage, and
writing it all off
hm+mm, but you’re touching me and suddenly, it’s easy
i’m not even bleeding
but i believe it all

[pre+chorus]
can i speak with the author?
where’s the climax of this novel?
tell me, how come there’s no crisis love can solve?

[chorus]
i thought i had to die for you love me
thought that peace could only come from war
thought i had to break down to be found
that it could only work if it hurts
thought i had to set myself on fire
if i ever wanted to be warm
but you give me a slow burn
hmm
[bridge]
i look at you and i can feel the heat
it spreads right through my skin
but i don’t fan the flames and i don’t freeze
i just let it in
we can lay our weapons down and still have everything

[chorus]
i don’t have to die for you to love me
i don’t ever have to go to war
i don’t need to break down, you still found me
without any smoke leading you to my door
i don’t have to set myself on fire
i don’t need to hurt to feel your warmth
’cause you give me a slow burn
hmm
