Burned - Front Porch Step

Father I’m sorry I’ve hurt you

I’m sorry I’ve stumbled like this

This heart that still beats from the breath of your lips

Is a heart that’d kill you with a kiss

And I know that you still choose to love me

And it’s something that I cannot earn

But I turned away and I ran toward the flames

What a wonderful way to get burned

What a wonderful way to get burned

You gave me it all, I threw it away

I played with the fire

What a wonderful way to get burned

I faked love with a tall glass of water

Wasn’t long before she had her fill

'Cause she had enough of the lack of our love

And now she’s going out for the kill

And you told me you’d love me forever

But Jesus, will you ever learn

That your place in my heart has been filled with such dark

You won’t see me when you have returned

What a wonderful way to get burned

You gave me it all, I threw it away

I played with the fire

What a wonderful way to get burned

You gave me it all, I threw it away

I played with the fire

What a wonderful way

What a wonderful way

What a wonderful way

You brought air to my lungs and then I turned my back

You still loved me despite but I hated the fact

That I hated myself more than I ever loved

So the love that you had was just not good enough

And I miss you so much that it burns in my chest

Like the first cigarette that I smoked to impress

If I had known then what I’ve done to you now

I’d pour gas on myself with it lit in my mouth

What a wonderful way to get burned

You gave me it all, I threw it away

I played with the fire

What a wonderful way to get burned

You gave me it all, I threw it away

I played with the fire

What a wonderful way

What a wonderful way

What a wonderful way

To get burned
