Burning a Good Thing

Here comes a conversation

Pit of my chest and the back of my throat

Wasn't a lie when I said you make me happy

You have a nice life

All I would do is tear it on down

Like a drunk in a bar fight

Predictable destruction

It's just same bed, same position

If I lose your breath I'll think of hers

But in the back of my mind I know you'll never find it

But in the back of my mind I know that you'll never find what your trying to fill

Burning a good thing

On a love I don't know is real

I'm burning a good thing

For someone that's not even here

I'm burning a good thing

I can't burn away the way I feel

Not like she is waiting for me

More than likely back alone

Avoiding the sleep

On my phone

And if I try to suppress it

This masochistic message

You could love someone who loves somebody else

Somebody you do not know

With a fist around my throat

It'll kill me if I let them go

Burning a good thing

On a love I don't know is real

Burning a good thing

For someone that's not even here

I'm burning a good thing

I can't burn away what's burning up

Is it living if I'm waiting

Letting these chances go

Living if I'm only loving

Someone in the back of my mind

No that's living on the outside

Of my body

That's living on the outside of my life and my, my, my mind

That's living on the outside

Of my body

That's living on the outside of my life and my, my, my mind

Burning a good thing

On a love I don't know is real

I'm burning a good thing

On someone that's not even here

Burning a good thing

I can't burn away, watch me burn it up

Watch me burn it up

I'm gonna burn it up

Watch me burn it up

Burning a good thing

On a love I don't know is real

I'm burning a good thing

On someone that's not even here

Burning a good thing

I can't burn away, watch me burn it up

Burn it up

I'm gonna burn it up

Burn it up

Don't want to hurt you

I don't want to hurt you

Don't want to hurt you

I don't want to hurt you
