Burn to Shine

We made love until we cried, and cried ourselves to laughter

Laughed until we realize our hearts were struck with fear

How, in just a moment's time, could one see forever after?

I gently lie beside of you, and dream away with my tears

Won't you let me treat you kind?

We're gonna burn to shine

Won't you let me treat you kind?

We're gonna burn to shine

Funny things you learn from your mama

Like the way you throw your head back when you're swallowin' pills

Funny things you learn from your papa

Like when you're talkin', you just can't keep your hands still

But that was now and this is then, it never lasts for long

How I miss the good old days, but I'm so glad they're gone

Won't you let me treat you kind?

We're gonna burn to shine

Won't you let me treat you kind?

We're gonna burn to shine

I'd like to spend the time that you would like to spend with me

So that you could help me out with my dependency

'Cause I'm hopelessly addicted, addicted to your sorrow

Makes me never wanna work, only beg and  borrow

Won't you let me treat you kind?

We're gonna burn to shine

Won't you let me treat you kind?

We're gonna burn to shine

Won't you let me treat you kind?

We're gonna burn to shine

Won't you let me treat you kind?

B-b-burn to shine
