Burning lyrics

I've been burning

Yes, I've been burning

Such a burden

This flame on my chest

No insurance to pay for the damage

Yeah, I've been burning up since you left

I've been smoking, oh

More than twenty a day

Blame it on rebellion

Don't blame it on me

Wish I was younger

Back to the nineteenth of May

I had an open mind

Swore to never change

Funny how time goes by

Had respect for myself

That river ran dry

You reached a limit

I wasn't enough

It's like the fire replaced all the love

I've been burning

Yes, I've been burning

Such a burden

This flame on my chest

No insurance to pay for the damage

Yeah, I've been burning up since you left

Oh, have you ever called

I will burst straight back

Give you my forgiveness

And the shirt off my back

No friends to turn to

Yeah, I messed up that

Wish we could smoke again

Just for a day, oh

Funny how time goes by

Had respect for myself

That river ran dry

You reached a limit

I wasn't enough

And it's like the fire replaced all the love

I've been burning

Yes, I've been burning

Such a burden

This flame on my chest

No insurance to pay for the damage

Yeah, I've been burning up since you left

Yeah, I've been burning up since you left

Oh, I've been burning up since you left
