Burn

You can run but

There is nowhere to hide

You can make yourself warm in the presence of strangers

It's still you inside

You made mistakes I make mistakes too

But your mistakes are written all over you

You left a legacy

That only you can't see

Maybe one day I'll get your honesty

But until then I have to leave

You lit a fire and you walked away

And it'll only burn me if I stay

One step at a time

You watched me run

You watched me run away

And one flame at a time

I watched you burn

Candle by the fire

The wick lit up

And then it turned to dust

One flame at a time

I watched you burn

Call my name, but

I'm not here anymore

The best I can do is to watch from afar

I don't know who you are

You hide your secrets from me in the night

But raging fires bring your dark to light

And though I feel the heat

You're just a memory

Still I'd come over if you called for me

'Cause that's what you do for family

And though you tried to break to my heart

This has to do with so much more than me

It's not too late for reconciliation

You know one day you'll have to meet your maker

But until then I have to walk away

'Cause you're on fire and everything you touch just turns ablaze

One step at a time

You watched me run

You watched me run away

And one flame at a time

I watched you burn

Candle by the fire

The wick lit up

And then it turned to dust

One flame at a time

I watched you burn, burn, burn, burn, burn

I watched you

I watched you

One step at a time

You watched me run

You watched me run away

And one flame at a time

I watched you burn

You lit a candle by the fire

The wick lit up

And then it turned to dust

One flame at a time

I watched you burn
