The Burn

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 --- The Burn - Matchbox Twenty
