The Burn - Lyrics by Matchbox 20


Lyrics
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
