David Michael Schmidt You Burned Me
You Burned Me
You burned me bad and let me die
I gave it all and bared my soul
My honest heart just could not lie
I showed it all and kept it true
I wrote the words in dripping blood
My open book was meant for you
Chorus:
Then you burned me and let me die
And cast my ashes to the winds
Now no more tears are left to cry
You flamed the heat and stoked the fire
Then stacked more wood upon the pile
You made the best tall funeral pyre
I thought this time the I'd found the one
Then reach inside the open drawer
This shaking hand can't load the gun
Chorus:
Then you burned me and let me die
And cast my ashes to the winds
Now no more tears are left to cry
Lonely hearts are white and thin
Without a pulse or rhythmic beat
There is no life that's left within
A hollow shell can't feel the bed
I lie and stare at ceiling lines
And pray to god that I was dead
Chorus:
Then you burned me and let me die
And cast my ashes to the winds
Now no more tears are left to cry
