Burn Songtext
von Matchbox Twenty

I thought about
Leaving but I couldn′t even get outta bed
I'm hangin′ cause I couldn't get a ride outta town
Now anyone who really wanted me to be down
Come 'round

Thought about
Singin′ but I couldn′t remember all of the words
Breakin' but I couldn′t get the pieces apart
Laughin' never knowing what the joke was about

Now I′m down
And I wonder how I never got the burn
And if I'm ever gonna learn
How lonely people make a life
One strain at a time


Forgot about
Everything and everyone I needed before
Tryin′ to get a handle on a reason to shine
Pickin' up the pieces that are falling behind takes time

So I wonder how I never got the burn
And if I'm ever gonna learn
How lonely people make a life
One strain at a time and still shine

And I wonder how I never got the burn
And if I′m ever gonna learn
How lonely people make a life
One strain at a time

And I wonder how I never got the burn
And if I′m ever gonna learn
How lonely people make a life
One strain at a time and still shine
