Burning Down Inside

Play the game of indecision
Come what may, she knows it isn't just
His voice on the line
One final time she hears thunder

Precious lies when she played her part
Still she tries, because hope dies hard
With broken wings, she can feel the sting
Like a backhand over the telephone

In her eyes, shimmers twilight
Drivin' hard, it gives up the fight
And she fights it back, knowing that
The dam could break wide open

Burning down inside
Nobody wants to be lonely
Burning down inside
The harder they come
The harder she falls

To her face, I show my arm
I walk away, before I do more harm
And with the damage done
She won't know where to run
Or who to run to

Turnin' like a spinning wheel
Dancin' on her head
Tries so hard to walk away
She falls in love instead

My head says
We should always go our own ways
Never get too close
When she can hear my heart
If she comes apart, I'll be waiting

Burning down inside
The harder she falls
Burning down inside
Burning down inside
The harder they come
The harder she falls

Burning down inside
Burning down inside
Burning down inside
The harder they come
The harder she falls

Burning down inside
The harder they come
The harder she falls
