Burned

I never thought I’d pay so dearly

For what I thought I had, but now I know it clearly

Don’t put yourself down, hey desperado

Heaven help the one, cruising el dorado

Looking through some photos and how it used to be

Remember there’s just a trace of sorrow

Things i couldn’t see but know I know, nothing's guaranteed

Compassion i can’t borrow

They saw the end, we put it back together

Starting to believe it’s true

Caught between the truth and the trust

Lived long enough you’d think I’d learn

Caught between the truth and the trust

The closer you get to the fire, the more you get burned

We face the moment, belief is betrayed

Broken hearts and victims on a judgement day

Feeling insecure, there dreaming of the past

Tears will fall and the heart beating too fast

Careful words cast off with cautious tones

How they haunt us till the end

So it goes the choice was mine and mine alone

Don’t ask me to pretend

No make believe, you thought it was forever

Now you know that gold is for fools

Caught between the truth and the trust

Lived long enough you’d think I’d learn

Caught between the truth and the trust

The closer you get to the fire, the more you get burned

The closer you get to the fire

Make believe, you thought it was forever

Now you know that gold is for fools, golds for fools

Caught between the truth and the trust

Lived long enough you’d think I’d learn

Now caught between

The closer you get to the fire, the more you get burned

Caught between the truth and the trust

Lived long enough you’d think I’d learn

Caught between the truth and the trust

The closer you get to the fire, the more you get burned

Caught between the truth and the trust

Lived long enough you’d think I’d learn

Caught between the truth and the trust

The closer you get to the fire, the more you get burned
