Burn

It took weeks to cleanse my soul It took months to piece my mind Another year to lift my head And see what was left behind I went to her house She laid me down Sacraments upon the floor Candles lit Wax pouring down Her eyes are empty scorned The torch is lit The pyres high Smoke rising out the door; With blackened hands She dashed out Gasoline on the floor She let me burn She don't got nothing left to lose She let me burn Intense as the love that we once know She let me burn Out here alone Just singing the blues She let me burn She let me burn burn burn Look me in the eyes Pretend that you don't know where to go But you're the one who paved the road It looks like When you're on the end of the rope You're a lot more particular About the way it goes Isn't it funny the way it works out sometimes Guess you should've read between the lines Isn't it funny the way it goes XOXO that's all I know And you can try to blame it on me again Well I guess that's just like you friend And XOXO I'll kiss your ghost; As you tie me to the post She let me burn She don't got nothing left to lose She let me burn Intense as the love that we once know She let me burn Out here alone Just singing the blues She let me burn She let me burn burn burn She let me burn She don't got nothing left to lose She let me burn Intense as the love that we once know She let me burn Out here alone Just singing the blues She let me burn She let me burn burn burn
