Burning Away

I'm burning away
Oh honey I'm not in the mood for whatever you wanna say
I don't wanna hear you today, or ever again
Oh honey if you dry those eyes I'll promise I'll do the same

I crave for her to be more erotic
But being poetic isn't going to help
I am the street she is a yellow car
She used to think 20 miles is close
No one ever taught me what I shouldn't do
On how to treat a girl as peculiar as you
Well that leads in this series of unfortunate events
Now she thinks 20 miles is far

No one ever knew it
No one'd ever said
Look at me I blew it
Soon it'll turn to red

I'm burning away
Oh honey I'm not in the mood for whatever you wanna say
I don't wanna hear you today, or ever again
Oh honey if you dry those eyes I'll promise I'll do the same

I don't have that much money so we had to share a burger
And when she asked if she could eat it whole I gladly starved to death
I shouldn't be happy but I'm happy when I'm near her
I don't care cause I would have died the same if she had left
All the points they led to this yet I never noticed a sign
How was I so blind this entire time?
And now I'm nothing but a smouldering match in an ashtray
This particular woman had me burning away

No one ever knew it
No one'd ever said
Look at me I blew it
Soon it'll turn to red

I'm burning away
Oh honey I'm not in the mood for whatever you wanna say
I don't wanna hear you today, or ever again
Oh honey if you dry those eyes I'll promise I'll do the same

The ocean in your eyes, the one in which I used to drown
Now the water has become rather saltier recently, your eyebrows still a frown

I'm burning away
Oh honey I don't give a fuck, stop pretending it's okay

I'm burning away
Oh honey I'm not in the mood for whatever you wanna say
I don't wanna hear you today, or ever again
Oh honey if you dry those eyes I'll promise I'll do the same
