Before It Burned

My heart falls on my chest, beats crazy when I'm around you

Most times I'm sweating bullets soon as we're let outta school

'Cause I don't wanna find you standing there with somebody new

I think I'd have to kill myself if somebody knew

The way that I feel when you say my name but don't shout it

The sun's on your face, but everything else is too clouded

I go back and forth in my room wondering

Why you're so caught up in his lust

I stand outside with distance

And I can tell, way deep down, that there's no trust

I can't stand how it feels

Knowing you'll never see me more than just

A face in the crowd, a tape on the ground

A flame that went out before it burned

I never tried, it's so one-sided, so I can't blame you

There's no denying I caught your eye, then I looked at my shoes

I pray so hard, need back those chances I always blew

I think I'd have to kill myself if somebody knew

The way that I feel when you say my name but don't shout it

The sun's on your face, but everything else is too clouded

And all that I need is that simple sound from those lips

'Cause you've been playing me over and over again

Playing me over and over again

I go back and forth in my room wondering

Why you're so caught up in his lust

I stand outside with distance

And I can tell, way deep down, that there's no trust

I can't stand how it feels

Knowing you'll never see me more than just

A face in the crowd, a tape on the ground

A flame that went out before it burned

I go back and forth in my room wondering

Why you're so caught up in his lust

I stand outside with distance

And I can tell, way deep down, that there's no trust

I can't stand how it feels

Knowing you'll never see me more than just

A face in the crowd, a tape on the ground

A flame that went out before it burned
