Burning Love
Today I burned your letters
Filled with all your lies
The smell of broken promises
Even stung my eyes
I tore up all your pictures
And cast them in the flame
I washed my hands a thousand times
To free me of your shame
I tried to burn my memories
But the fire was way too hot
So I'll wait 'til you mean nothing
And be glad that I forgot
I tried to burn your kisses
But my lips couldn't reach the fire
So I found me someone new to love
That fills me with desire
Tomorrow I won't know you
It's her I'm thinking of
You'll no longer matter
Today I'm burning love
