Lyrics

You Burn First

I said, "Cover me, if there is a fire
'Cause I want you to burn first"
She screamed at me, "I want to be desired"
I said, "Easy girl, I know it hurts
Let's all give thanks that I am a liar
'Cause I got a feeling I just might get worse
Now there's nothing wrong with you, I'm just tired
And I'm in a mood for a brand new curse"
You burn first
You burn first
You burn first
You burn first
"Cover me, if there is a fire
'Cause I want you to burn first"
She screamed at me, "I want to be desired"
"Easy girl, I know it hurts
Let's all give thanks that I am a liar
'Cause I got a feeling I just might get worse
Now there's nothing wrong with you, I've just grown tired
And I'm in a mood for a brand new curse"
