[Chorus: Avril Lavigne]
I still burn for you, like the sun burns in the sky
I still burn for you
I still burn for you, my whole life, I've been on fire
I still burn for you
[Post-Chorus: MOD SUN]
Up in flames, up in flames
Light a match and put it to my name
Up in flames, I still burn for you
[Verse 1: MOD SUN]
Every time I think I had enough of this (Hey)
I get more addicted, yeah, I'm so obsessed (Oh, yeah)
Talk about you all the time, I am your narcissist
Well, if we burn it down, you'll be my arsonist
[Chorus: Avril Lavigne, MOD SUN, Avril Lavigne & MOD SUN]
I still burn for you, like the sun burns in the sky
I still burn for you (Burn for you, burn for you)
I still burn for you, my whole life, I've been on fire
I still burn for you
[Verse 2: MOD SUN, Avril Lavigne, MOD SUN & Avril Lavigne]
I'm so strung out on you, I might relapse (I might relapse)
I'm dyin' for a taste, please, God, don't let this last (Plеase, God, don't let this last)
And you've been burnin' all of thе leaves on palm trees
I'm left with nothing more than ashes
Fallin' to the ground like snowflakes
I almost wish we never happened
[Chorus: MOD SUN & Avril Lavigne, MOD SUN]
I still burn for you, like the sun burns in the sky
I still burn for you (Burn for you)
I still burn for you (Burn for you, burn for you), my whole life, I've been on fire
I still burn for you (Burn for you)
[Post-Chorus: MOD SUN & Avril Lavigne, MOD SUN]
Up in flames, up in flames
Light a match and put it to my name
Up in flames, I still burn for you
Up in flames, up in flames
Light a match and put it to my name
Up in flames, I still burn for you
[Outro: Avril Lavigne]
Up in flames, up in flames
Light a match and put it to my name
Up in flames, I still burn for you
Flames was written by Avril Lavigne & John Feldmann & MOD SUN.
Flames was produced by John Feldmann.
Avril Lavigne has one of my favorite voices in music. It’s so strong and confident, yet filled with emotion and one-of-a-kind inflections that only her voice can do. This song holds a lot more weight than meets the eye. There’s a very deep message within it.

Mod and I had an immediate connection from the first day in the studio. He’s an incredible artist and producer. This is the first of many. Proud of what we made with ‘Flames.’
