You Burned Me



You burned me bad and let me die

I gave it all and bared my soul

My honest heart just could not lie



I showed it all and kept it true

I wrote the words in dripping blood

My open book was meant for you



Chorus:

Then you burned me and let me die

And cast my ashes to the winds

Now no more tears are left to cry



You flamed the heat and stoked the fire

Then stacked more wood upon the pile

You made the best tall funeral pyre



I thought this time the I'd found the one

Then reach inside the open drawer

This shaking hand can't load the gun



Chorus:

Then you burned me and let me die

And cast my ashes to the winds

Now no more tears are left to cry



Lonely hearts are white and thin

Without a pulse or rhythmic beat

There is no life that's left within



A hollow shell can't feel the bed

I lie and stare at ceiling lines

And pray to god that I was dead



Chorus:

Then you burned me and let me die

And cast my ashes to the winds

Now no more tears are left to cry
