Everybody's Been Burned - The Byrds

Everybody’s been burned before

Everybody knows the pain

Anyone in this place

Can tell you to your face

Why you shouldn’t try to love someone

Everybody knows it never works

Everybody knows and me I know that door that shuts

Just before you get to the dream

You see…

I know all too well

How to turn, how to run

How to hide behind

A bitter wall of blue

But you die inside

If you choose to hide

So I guess instead, I’ll love you
