Burnin' Down

Verse1

When you can walk through the fire

and not get burned

how does it feel

when you chase all your desires

just to get your fill

of what you want

 when you chase down the storm

chasing away all your fears

how does it feel

 

Verse2

I've felt the loneliness before

then I got up

and walked out the door

vowed to never be back again

yet here I stand

with my gutar in my hands

playing this song for you

a million emotions running

through my head

my heart and soul

from me to you

 

Bridge

I'm never gonna back down now

I'm never gonna give up now

I'm gonna get up off the ground

I'm gonna stand proud

and shout it out loud

 

Chorus

I'm not Burnin' Down

anymore

I just gotta get out

the front door

I'm not gonna stay here in this mess

that you put me in

girl it's like a sin

I'm not Burnin' Down

anymore

I'm not Burnin' Down

anymore

not for you

anymore

 

Verse3

I fed that beast too long

now I'm out on my own

had to walk away

from your toxic disgrace

I'm not gonna run

your rat race

no not for you

anymore

no not for you

anymore

 

(solo)

 

Verse4

Girl you got to understand

I'm not gonna let you make me

be that kind of man

I'll leave you high and dry

I'll find another girl

to make all mine

one who will love me

the rest of my life

 

Repeat Bridge and Chorus
