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
