The Burn

As I read the heart-felt words of so many years gone by I feel the love you have inside All along I thought you knew Of just what I feel for you I thought that I was getting through I've been trapped, inside these walls of preconceived responsibilities And what I thought was expected of me I should have realized I should have said it out loud Every time I saw your brilliance Every time that I felt proud I've been lost in the dark I forgot to breathe I was caught up in The burn I regret its been so long Just put your arms around me I'm trying hard to make it right I've forgiven all the wrong You are the only one We're starting over, moving on I've been trapped, inside these walls of preconceived responsibilities And what I thought was expected of me I should have realized I should have said it out loud Every time I saw your brilliance Every time that I felt proud I've been lost in the dark I forgot to breathe I was caught up in The burn I'll be beside you till the end You hold my heart, you are my best friend There's comfort when I feel you near me And all the ways that you complete me I've been trapped, inside these walls of preconceived responsibilities And what I thought was expected of me I should have realized I should have said it out loud Every time I saw your brilliance Every time that I felt proud I've been lost in the dark I forgot to breathe I was caught up in The burn I've been lost in the dark I forgot to breathe I was caught up in The burn
