Burn This Slow Lyrics by Tayler Holder
There ain’t a bottle on that shelf
That ain’t helped me through this kind of hell
So I’d like to slowly sip it down, down, down till
There ain’t a bottle on that shelf
And just like the whiskey on my breath
That hangs around, yeah
You faded, but you never left
A heartbreak don’t burn as quick as a cigarette, and
It don’t come and go like a 5.0 running on 87
We lit up like fire and oil
It’s all said and done, but I’m still seeing smoke
A heartbreak shouldn’t burn this slow
A heartbreak shouldn’t
Leave a trail, a cloud of dust
Like that old Mustang leaving this town
And sure enough, what’s going up
I reckon it won’t come back down
And just like the whiskey on my breath
It hangs around
You faded, but you never left
A heartbreak don’t burn as quick as a cigarette, and
It don’t come and go like a 5.0 running on 87
We lit up like fire and oil
It’s all said and done, but I’m still seeing smoke
A heartbreak shouldn’t burn this slow
Shouldn’t burn this slow
Something ’bout a Marlboro Red just lighting up
A fast rush into my head’s the perfect numb
I’m chasing your memory with something bottled up ’cause
Sometimes a Marlboro Red just ain’t enough
A heartbreak don’t burn as quick as a cigarette, and
It don’t come and go like a 5.0 running on 87
Oh, we lit up like fire and oil
It’s all said and done, but I’m still seeing smoke
A heartbreak shouldn’t burn this slow
This slow
