Burn Slow

<br>The night that you first touched me<br><br>You shook me from my peace, then took me from a safe place<br><br>You took me from a safe place and you stole my hearts ease<br><br><br><br><br><br>You act like a mortician, presiding at a wake<br><br>I close the lid on passion<br><br>Knowing well whats at stake<br><br>Your love consumed me wholly<br><br>At times I could not breathe<br><br>I darent love you solely<br><br>Always felt you might leave<br><br><br><br><br><br>I offered you my soul like a humble sacrifice<br><br>You put it under a glass<br><br>Then you put it<br><br>On ice, on ice, on ice,<br><br>On ice, on ice, on ice,<br><br>On ice, on ice, on ice<br><br><br><br><br><br>And now that love has burned me<br><br>Im waiting by the pyre<br><br>I thought my eyes were open<br><br>When I started the fire<br><br>And then to pile on insult, after the injury<br><br>You said my soul was tarnished<br><br>How you rubbed off on me!<br><br><br><br><br><br>Well now that alls been done and<br><br>Weve had our last farewell<br><br>Im burning all your letters, watching them all<br><br>Burn slow, burn slow,<br><br>Burn slow, burn slow,<br><br>(repeat)
