Intro 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 (x3) verse 1 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 Pre-Chorus Funny how time goes by Had respect for myself That river ran dry You reached the 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 verse 2 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 Pre-Chorus Funny how time goes by Had respect for myself That river ran dry You reached the 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 Outro Yeah, I've been burning up since you left Oooh, I've been burning up since you left
