Lyrics

0:03Yes I've been burning
0:06Such a burden
0:08This flame on my chest
0:11No insurance to pay for the damage
0:16Yeah I've been burning up since you left
0:44I've been smoking oh
0:47More than 20 a day
0:50Blame it on rebellion
0:53Don't blame it on me
0:55Wish I was younger
0:58Back to the 19th of May
1:01I had an open mind
1:03Swore to never change
1:08Funny how time goes by
1:11Had respect for myself
1:14That river ran dry
1:17You reached a limit
1:19I wasn't enough
1:23It's like the fire replaced all the love
1:28I've been burning
1:31Yes I've been burning
1:34Such a burden
1:36This flame on my chest
1:39No insurance to pay for the damage
1:45Yeah I've been burning up since you left
1:50Oh if you ever called
1:53I would run straight back
1:56Give you my forgiveness
1:59And the shirt off my back
2:02No friends to turn to
2:05Yeah I messed up that
2:07Wish we could smoke again
2:09Just for a day oh
2:14Funny how time goes by
2:17Had respect for myself
2:20That river ran dry
2:23You reached a limit
2:26I wasn't enough
2:28And it's like the fire replaced all the love
2:34I've been burning
2:37Yes I've been burning
2:40Such a burden
2:42This flame on my chest
2:45No insurance to pay for the damage
2:51Yeah I've been burning up since you left
2:56Yeah I've been burning up since you left
3:02Oh I've been burning up since you left
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 20 a day
Blame it on rebellion
Don't blame it on me
Wish I was younger
Back to the 19th 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 if you ever called
I would run 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
