Lyrics

Burn

(Rescue me) from this mistake I'm in Who knows the path I'll land on? (I must be dreaming) in the end nothing but solitary moments (Coming down on me) Wash away the colors of the shame that you gave to me So I can see again, so I can live again Wash away the colors of the shame that you gave to me So I can see again, so I can live again (Wash it away, release me) (Never free) I don't know what I want but I know (I don't want this) a sleep of content I'm here Again and always (Intent on believing) Wash away the colors of the shame that you gave to me So I can see again, so I can live again I pray the day will come when you will see What you took from me, From where it all began, the way I used to be Wash away the colors of the shame that you gave to me So I can see again, so I can live again I pray the day will come when you will see What you took from me, From where it all began, the way I used to be (Wash it away – release me) (I can't take this anymore) I lied to myself, remembering the things said Things you said to me No answer for help, empty promises were all I heard Never meant to be Destroy me, control me, don't hold me Release me from your hands Give me back the life you took and... Wash away the colors of the shame that you gave to me So I can see again, so I can live again I pray the day will come when you will see What you took from me, From where it all began, the way I used to be Wash away the colors of the shame that you gave to me So I can see again, so I can live again I pray the day will come when you will see What you took from me, From where it all began, the way I used to be I often wonder how it came to this again I often wonder why it had to end I often wonder how it came to this again I often wonder why it had to end Forgive you just the same I often wonder how it came to this again Never meant to be I often wonder why it had to end Forgive you all the same I often wonder how it came to this again Never meant to be I often wonder why it had to end Because of what you took from me
