"The Beast" lyrics

I could rip my best dress and let my make up 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

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

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

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

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

The beast
The beast
The beast
You're a fire not a candle but tell me can you handle

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

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

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
