Burning Hearts

The blood is rushing to my head This room is spinning round the bed A flashing image perforates Tarnishes memories of grace A bursting fiery fortune to misshape And if my body makes it out Unscathed and safe from broken vows A promise spoken leaves me holding on I just can't get a hold of Why we always hurt the ones we love Keep burning hearts to keep us strong A crack has formed in the foundation The floor is falling out from under me A pleading loser makes his case A liar shakes his hand and breaks A life of honor turns into his shame And if my body makes it out Unscathed and safe from broken vows A promise spoken leaves me holding on I just can't get a hold of Why we always hurt the ones we love Keep burning hearts to keep us strong It's all my fault (it's all my fault) This eagle's flying down below where shadows fall Now it's sinking in (now it's sinking in) That I'm sinking into this place I never thought I'd view You can't trust me, I'm not worthy You won't ever feel this way The storm is moving overhead The wind is blowing back, we've been disliked And if my body makes it out Unscathed and safe from broken vows A promise spoken leaves me holding on I just can't get a hold of Why we always hurt the ones we love Keep burning hearts to keep us strong --- Burning Hearts - Silverstein
