The Burn

I thought about leaving but I couldn't even get outta bed I'm hangin' 'cause I couldn't get a ride outta town Now anyone who really wanted me to be down, come 'round I thought about singin' but I couldn't remember all of the words Breakin' but I couldn't get the pieces apart Laughin' never knowing what the joke was about, now I'm down And I wonder how I never got the burn And if I'm never gonna learn How lonely people make a life One strain at a time Forgot about everything and everyone I needed before Tryin' to get a handle on a reason to shine And pickin' up the pieces that are falling behind takes time So, I wonder how I never got the burn And if I'm never gonna learn How lonely people make a life One strain at a time and still shine And I wonder how I never got the burn And if I'm never gonna learn How lonely people make a life One strain at a time And I wonder how I never got the burn And if I'm never gonna learn How lonely people make their life One strain at a time and still shine
