Fire Inside

This is what I feel It's not the fact that you left, still haunting It's the fact that I would still die for you - It's this pain yet to settle down This pain we know as it burns, sears, and chars Like a torch melting my skin It drives me insane I am nothing but human, we can only take so much Flesh bound to bone with a bigger heart than they know I can't find a way away from it It knows me too well I can run, but I'll only die tired I can fight, it'll win, no effort I know nobody claimed it easy But no one celebrated it haunting Oh God, please don't let me burn any longer What did I do to deserve all of this? I've been a good boy since she left So chill me and extinguish this fire inside I'm too weak to do it alone
