Burn Lyrics

Sinead Harnett Burn

[Verse 1]
There are so many things
That I wish I had the guts to do
Most of all I wish I had the power to love you
But I'm so sick of trying
To go against my mind
When I know I have a masochistic need inside

[Pre-Chorus]
‘Cause I'm scared to be alone
But it's better on my own
I don't know my wrong from right
And I'll always start a fight
You don't wanna see me blow
[Chorus]
So don't get too close to me
You should set yourself free
You think it's so easy
But baby you'll learn
Don't get too close to me
I can't control the heat
I'm like the third degree
And baby you'll burn
Baby you'll burn
(Mmm hmm)
You'll burn
(Mmm hmm)

[Verse 2]
Such a mess, I'm a fool
Know I shouldn't be running from you
I confess my self fulfilling prophecy came true
Because we're all led by example
I didn't grow up in a safe home
And I know you wanna
Show me what it means
But there's some things you just can't teach

[Pre-Chorus]
‘Cause I'm scared to be alone
But it's better on my own
I don't know my wrong from right
And I'll always start a fight
You don't wanna see me blow
[Chorus]
Don't get too close to me
You should set yourself free
You think it's so easy
But baby you'll learn
Don't get too close to me
I can't control the heat
I'm like the third degree
And baby you'll burn
Baby you'll burn
(Ooh-ooh)
You'll burn
(Ooh-ooh)
