Lyrics Burning - Sam Smith

Burning

I’ve been burnin', yes, I’ve been burnin'
Such a burden, this flame on my chest
No insurance, to pay for the damage
Yeah, I’ve been burnin' up since you left
I’ve been smokin', oh, more than twenty a day
Blame it on rebellion, don’t blame it on me
Wish I was younger back to the nineteenth of May
I had an open mind, swore to never change
Funny how time goes by
Had respect for myself that river ran dry
You reached a limit, I wasn’t enough
It’s like the fire replaced all the love
I’ve been burnin', yes, I’ve been burnin'
Such a burden, this flame on my chest
No insurance, to pay for the damage
Yeah, I’ve been burnin' up since you left
Oh, if you ever called, I will run straight back
Give you my forgiveness and the shirt off my back
No friends to turn to, yeah, I messed up that
Wish we could smoke again, just for a day, oh
Funny how time goes by
Had respect for myself that river ran dry
You reached a limit, I wasn’t enough
And it’s like the fire replaced all the love
I’ve been burnin', yes, I’ve been burnin'
Such a burden, this flame on my chest
No insurance, to pay for the damage
Yeah, I’ve been burnin' up since you left
Yeah, I’ve been burnin' up since you left
Oh, I’ve been burnin' up since you left
