The Beast

[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—
