Lyrics for Burning Herself by Harry Chapin:
| | | Artist: | Harry Chapin |
| | Album: | Unknown | | Track: | Burning Herself | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 96 | | | | Lyrics: | She was crazy (she was beautiful),
I guess she had to be.
I was angry (you were
blind),
because I could not see.
I saw only what her cigarettes had done to her skin.
I
should have known the outside world
would reveal what was within.
She was burning
herself,
and her hair was filled with ashes.
She was burning herself,
and her life
becomes a flame.
She was burning herself,
and the flame became her passion.
She was
burning herself,
and her passion,
her passion was her pain.
She was trusting (you could
have saved her too),
all hope had passed for her.
I was lusting (and she gave to
you),
that's all I asked for her.
The marks upon her body
and the marks upon her
mind.
I could have erased them
if I'd only taken the time.
I never saw her do it,
I
only saw the scars.
I never could imagine
what would make her go that far.
I
wondered,
was she driven by desperate need to feel,
to find out she was living,
to
discover life was real.
Or was it that the pain
slicing through her like a knife
was
easier to take
than the emptiness of life?
Had a strange sense of drama
caught her in a
role,
or was she trying to cauterize
the chancres on her sole?
I don't know
I don't
know
I don't know... | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
