Lyrics

Burning

It was all a dream
Just a new girl on the scene
Got your face on magazines
How it feel? It's killing me
But do you care to see?
Plenty fire in my eyes
Just the way I like to be
Will I stay? Will I leave?

I could figure out myself
When I'm distant in my world
I could hold on to the past and be absolutely mad
But I let go of my sins
I just searchin' for my wings
If you know where I'll find it
I would take a Limousine

Guess we're all burnin'
Burnin' and burnin'
Burnin'
Burnin' and burnin'
Burnin'
Burnin' and burnin'
Burnin'
Burnin' and burnin'

Don't you rush into these games
These games will kill you
Don't let them decide
Sweet words are not truth
Real love isn't blind
And you can bet on it
Yeah, you can bet on it
(Guess we're all)

Burnin'
Burnin' and burnin'
Burnin'
Burnin' and burnin'
Burnin' (oh)
Burnin' and burnin'
Burnin'
Burnin' and burnin'

Burnin', burnin'
Burnin', burnin'
Burnin', burnin', burnin'

I wanna be the first, I'ma testify
I wanna tell the truth when the time is right
I'ma let it fall
We're in a body tune
I believe in me
I believe it, I believe it
