Burning (Match in Hand) Lyrics

It's getting worse. It's burning me from the feet up. And now it's in my eyes and I can't see you anymore. I'd ask you to hold my hand, but I've lost it all in these flames. Don't fret for the loss of me. I struck the match. I watched the flames rise high above our heads with a smile. Is my downfall a surprise to you? I thought I made it clear. I'm not your perfect model. Burn, I watch it all go down. Blazing, I feel the flame against my skin. Why must I burn all that I love? I loved so much, but I have failed you. I am sorry. I watched the flames rise high above our heads with a smile. Is my downfall a surprise to you?

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
