I been screaming, "Let me know

How many somebodies have grown up subliminal?

Keepin' their heart turned off for years at a time, livin' without a hope

Anchored at a hotel, how many days to go?"

Love me at an arm's length, don't let me get too close

Never see the sunset, spares you pain when it goes

You kept from the fire

Still you burn, oh

Still your heart is burnin' up

I can tell, it's obvious you're

Too afraid to fall in love

Still your heart is burnin' up

Would you never know the secret

Your heart keeps in silence?

In burning, in seasons

In love, you believe, but

You kept me at an arm's length, don't let me get too close

Never see the sunset, spares you pain when it goes

You kept from the fire

Still you burn, oh

Still your heart is burnin' up

I can tell, it's obvious you're

Too afraid to fall in love

Still your heart is burnin' up

Still your heart is burnin' up

I can tell, it's obvious you're

Too afraid to fall in love

Still your heart is burnin' up

I can see the bullet-holes, you're bleeding out

While trying to keep it in control

Wanting to change me before you love me

Tell me what's easier

Stitchin' up the wound or hopin' the pressure holds?

Tell me who you want now, someone who's perfect? Oh

Afraid that I would mirror every flaw that's subliminal

Oh, you kept from the fire

Still you burn, oh

Still your heart is burnin' up

I can tell, it's obvious you're

Too afraid to fall in love (Fall in love)

Still your heart is burnin' up

Still your heart is burnin' up

I can tell, it's obvious you're (Obvious, hey)

Too afraid to fall in love

Still your heart is burnin' up (No, no, no)
