Lyrics Ray LaMontagne

Ray LaMontagne

Burn

Oh Mama, don't walk away

I'm a goddam sore loser

I ain't too proud to stay

But I'm still thinking 'bout you

And I'm so lonesome without you

And I can't get you out of my mind

Oh Mama, don't leave me alone

With my soul shut down so tight

Just like a stone cold tomb

Ain't it clear when I'm near you

I'm just dying to hear you

Calling my name one more time?

Oh, so don't pay no mind

To my watering eyes

Must be something in the air that I'm breathing

Yes and I try to ignore

All this blood on the floor

It's just this heart on my sleeve that's bleeding

Oh Mama don't walk away

You leave me here bereaving

From the words so hard and plain

Saying the love that we had

Was just selfish and sad

Yes, but to see you now with him is just making me mad

Oh so kiss him again

Just to prove to me that you can

I'll stand here and burn in my skin

Yes, I will stand here and burn in my skin
