Burning

Can't even begin to explain

This all too well familiar pain

It comes and it goes

But it gets in my bones all the same

Well, maybe I'm a fool

For falling in love with you

When I had nothing left to lose

And nothing more I could give

Went down with your sinking ship

Now I don't think I'll make it through

Through

Now it's only the beat of my heart

That reminds me not to stare at the sparks

Can't set fire to my soul just to keep ya

Keep ya

Keep ya from burning alone

'Cause the longer you convince me to stay

Our salvation's slipping further away

Can't set fire to my soul just to keep ya

Keep ya

Keep ya from burning alone

Forget everything we've come to expect

It only serves to further **** with our heads

And I don't wanna pretend this will all be alright in the end

So maybe now, instead of balancing on the edge

We could put this to bed for good

Can call it quits or risk sinking with this broken ship

But I don't think we'd make it through

Through

Now it's only the beat of my heart

That reminds me not to stare at the sparks

Can't set fire to my soul just to keep ya

Keep ya

Keep ya from burning alone

'Cause the longer you convince me to stay

Our salvation's slipping further away

Can't set fire to my soul just to keep ya

Keep ya

Keep ya from burning alone

I wish I could stay

I wish I could lie

Do whatever it takes to get you through the night

I can't be the one

I can't take the fall

Can't go up in the flames to keep your body warm

Now it's only the beat of my heart

That reminds me not to stare at the sparks

Can't set fire to my soul just to keep ya

Keep ya

Keep ya from burning alone

'Cause the longer you convince me to stay

Our salvation's slipping further away

Can't set fire to my soul just to keep ya

Keep ya

Keep ya from burning alone
