From A Place Behind The Smile

As It Burns

As it burns

I need the power

I need the strength

I need the blindness so i don't have to think

I gave my heart

I gave my all

But in the end, even the strongest tree can fall

And now the fire

Once in my soul

Has turned to nothing but the faintest ember glow

I lost my flare

I lost my charm

Feeling as if everyone was out there trying to do me harm

But you found me there

And was quickly aware

That something dangerous was lurking in my air

You showed me kindness

And soon you learned

How powerful my fire gets as it burns

She soothes my wounds

Makes me feel whole

everyone is now drawn to the light in my soul

And now they all

Want in my world

But i owe it all to the love of just one girl

It isn't easy

For her to see

She thinks that everyone well stick their claws into me

And many try

And don't succeed

cause her love is mine and the only one i need

But she won't believe me

Says it's just words

But i can't show her how much life without her hurts

Why did you find me?

Why make me whole?

If one day you'd just doubt me and let me go

I'm all confusion

My heart still yearns

For you, with me, in love's fire as it burns

And now she left me

I'm all alone

And all the ones she thought would get me are long gone

This fire it rages

It still burns there

For the taste of her lips and the smell of her hair

It's all confusion

It's all insane

The pressure that this hurt has left inside my brain

One day, I'll have to

Come to terms

With the fire you built inside me that still burns

So, do i put my love on the shelf?

Or do I give this

Fire, burning for you....

To someone else...

Life is confusion...
