The Beast

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I could rip my best dress And let my makeup run Uncover all the bruises So you can see where I come from I can lay my smile down And let my hair fall loose Brush out all my demons I could release them all for you [Pre-Chorus] 'Cause every time I see you, wanna see a bit more You wanna know my secrets, but You don't know what you're asking for You don't know what you're asking for [Chorus] Yeah, I gave you my pretty And you turned up the heat And now you burn it right through the beauty You're a fire, not a candle But tell me, can you handle The battle that's in me All I keep on a leash? You burn it right through the beauty You're a fire, not a candle But tell me, can you handle— [Verse 2] No one ever asked me If they could break these walls But would you still want me If you know I'm breakable? I can lay my heart down And let the darkness loose I could do it right now But I'm afraid of losing you [Chorus] Yeah, I gave you my pretty And you turned up the heat And now you burn it right through the beauty You're a fire, not a candle But tell me, can you handle The battle that's in me All I keep on a leash? You burn it right through the beauty You're a fire, not a candle But tell me, can you handle [Post-Chorus] The beast, the beast, the beast You're a fire, not a candle But tell me, can you handle— [Bridge] 'Cause every time I see you, wanna see a bit more ('Cause every time I see you, wanna see a bit more) You wanna know my secrets, but You don't know what you're asking for You don't know what you're asking for (You're asking for) [Chorus] Yeah, I gave you my pretty And you turned up the heat And now you burn it right through the beauty You're a fire, not a candle But tell me, can you handle The battle that's in me All I keep on a leash? You burn it right through the beauty You're a fire, not a candle But tell me, can you handle [Post-Chorus] The beast, the beast, the beast You're a fire, not a candle But tell me, can you handle— The beast, the beast, the beast You're a fire, not a candle But tell me, can you handle—
