Before It Burned Songtext
von Quinn XCII

My heart falls on my chest, beats crazy when I′m around you
Most times I'm sweating bullets soon as we′re let outta school
'Cause I don't wanna find you standing there with somebody new
I think I′d have to kill myself if somebody knew

The way that I feel when you say my name but don′t shout it
The sun's on your face, but everything else is too clouded

I go back and forth in my room wondering
Why you′re so caught up in his lust
I stand outside with distance
And I can tell, way deep down, that there's no trust
I can′t stand how it feels
Knowing you'll never see me more than just
A face in the crowd, a tape on the ground
A flame that went out before it burned

I never tried, it′s so one-sided, so I can't blame you
There's no denying I caught your eye, then I looked at my shoes
I pray so hard, need back those chances I always blew
I think I′d have to kill myself if somebody knew


The way that I feel when you say my name but don′t shout it
The sun's on your face, but everything else is too clouded
And all that I need is that simple sound from those lips
′Cause you've been playing me over and over again
Playing me over and over again

I go back and forth in my room wondering
Why you′re so caught up in his lust
I stand outside with distance
And I can tell, way deep down, that there's no trust
I can′t stand how it feels
Knowing you'll never see me more than just
A face in the crowd, a tape on the ground
A flame that went out before it burned

I go back and forth in my room wondering
Why you're so caught up in his lust
I stand outside with distance
And I can tell, way deep down, that there′s no trust
I can′t stand how it feels
Knowing you'll never see me more than just
A face in the crowd, a tape on the ground
A flame that went out before it burned
