burn Lyrics

Half-past ten, drinks all on the floor

Beer in hands, but not in yours

Hold me close, then walk me to the door

Then it's… Smaller towns and longer drives

Drinking our coffee at midnight

Learning to love, in the little light

And I burn

I'm the candle, youre my oxygen.

Lifes the weakening trees

And you blew in with the wind

And I burn

In you I learned to believe

Cause our love isn't perfect

But it's just enough for me

When they called you an angel, I was quick to believe

Started counting the seconds, fitting you in between

'Cause love didn't stop you from wanting to leave

And you haunt every corner that left in my mind

In the space that I loved, in the space you defied

Where I held you like water,

Slipping through my fingers all the time.

And I burn

Just a flame in the palm of your hand.

A droplet of water,

a mouth full of sand.

And I yearn

For you I was too naive

Cause our love wasn't perfect

But it was enough for me

Now I'm half in the bottle

Just drinking my sorrow

A bandaid to cover a bruise

And this rug stained with wine

Spells how you were once mine

But all I have left is - my youth

And I held you so close

Too scared to let go

Of this life

For a bitter one…

'Cause it's you in my mind

Slowly wasting my time

But whats done is done
