Lyrics

I've got good reason - to be thinking of
Ways to recall that - you were once here with
Me ... here with me ... ya ... here with me ... I'm missing you and -

Thinking of all the - things that you told me
You know I listened - but it's so hard to
Hear ... hear your voice ... ya ... hear your voice ... I'm missing it and -


The living room is full of people that I hardly know,
Full of hugs and reassurance,
Quiet faces, coffee cake - would you like some tea?
But that won't stop the Burning Burning inside of me,
No, that won't stop the Burning Burning inside of me.


All of your things are - still at my house and
I'll just have to find a - place to put it all a-
Way ... gone away ... I'm missing you and -

Why did you have to - leave me here with the
Strangely familiar - thought that you were gonna
Go ... where'd you go? ... Well we all go someday -


I think I've seen this in the movies Think I've seen this in the movies ...
I think I've seen this in the movies, doesn't feel the same,
And I don't want to be in this one
All I want is happy endings - Now I guess you're free
But that won't stop the Burning Burning inside of me,
No, that won't stop the Burning Burning inside of me.


Why did you have to - leave me here with this?
Why don't you hear me? - why so damned silent?
Please just one more time - please just one time for
Me ... just for me ... hey ... what about me? ...

I'm Burning Burning.
