Lyrics The Burn - Matchbox Twenty

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
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 ever 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
Pickin’up the pieces that are falling behind takes time
So i wonder how i never got the burn
And if i’m ever 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 ever 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 ever gonna learn
How lonely people make a life
One strain at a time and still shine
