| “ | Go ahead and watch my heart burn | ” |
– &burn, Billie Eilish | ||
"&burn" is a remix of watch by Billie Eilish that features American rapper Vince Staples.
It was originally included on her debut extended play (EP) dont smile at me, however fans wanted Bellyache to be on the EP, which led to &burn being replaced. Eilish later decided to include the song on a re-release of dont smile at me. It now serves as the ninth track on the EP.
Lyrics[]
[Verse 1: Billie Eilish]
Lips meet teeth and tongue
My heart skips eight beats at once (that's better)
If we were meant to be, we would have been by now
See what you wanna see, all I see is him right now
Him right now
[Chorus: Billie Eilish]
I'll sit and watch your car burn
With the fire that you started in me
But you never came back to ask it out
Go ahead and watch my heart burn
With the fire that you started in me
But I'll never let you back to put it out
(Thanks)
[Verse 2: Billie Eilish]
Your love feels so fake
My demands aren't high to make
If I could get to sleep, I would have slept by now
Your lies will never keep, I think you need to blow them out
Blow them out
[Chorus: Billie Eilish]
I'll sit and watch your car burn
With the fire that you started in me
But you never came back to ask it out
Go ahead and watch my heart burn
With the fire that you started in me
But I'll never let you back to put it out
[Bridge: Vince Staples]
7-4-2008
I still remember that
Heaven sent a present my way
I won't forget your laugh
Packing everything when you leave
You know you coming back
Wanna see me down on my knees
But that was made for a ring
I try to wait for the storm to calm down
But that's stubborn baby, leading a war
We droned down on each other
Tryin' to even the score
We all been found guilty in the court of aorta
[Chorus: Billie Eilish]
And I'll watch your car burn
With the fire that you started in me
But you never came back to ask it out
Go ahead and watch my heart burn
With the fire that you started in me
But I'll never let you back to put it out
[Outro: Billie Eilish & Vince Staples]
Watch your car, watch your car burn
I won't forget your laugh
Go ahead and watch my heart, watch my heart burn
You know you coming back, you know you coming back
Watch your car, watch your car burn
(Go ahead and watch my heart, watch my heart burn)
Tryin' to even the score
Go ahead and watch my heart, watch my heart burn
Found guilty in the court of aorta
