Silverstein

Burning Hearts

The blood is rushing to my head

This room is spinning 'round the bed

A flashing image perforates

Tarnish this memory's embrace

A bursting fiery fortune to misshape

And if my body makes it out

Unscathed and safe from broken vows

A promise broken leaves me holding on

I just can't get a hold of

Why we always hurt the ones we love

Can burning hearts still 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 head 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 broken leaves me holding on

I just can't get a hold of

Why we always hurt the ones we love

Can burning hearts still keep us strong?

It's all my fault

This eagle's flying down

Below where shadows fall

Now it's sinking in, that I'm sinking into this

Place I never thought I'd be

You can't trust me, I'm not worthy

You won't ever feel this way

This storm is moving over head

The wind is blowing back

We've been misled

And if my body makes it out

Unscathed and safe from broken vows

A promise broken leaves me holding on

I just can't get a hold of

Why we always hurt the ones we love

Can burning hearts still keep us strong?
