One Big Burn

Listen to me
What do you see when you look at me?
Do you see what you want me to be?
Do you even see anything,
Or do I fade from your mind and your memory?

Tell me

You can be honest with me
I know it hurts sometimes
But sometimes it's easier to lie and pretend
Than try to write these lines with the tip of a pen

Did it again
I stayed up all night
Just to find the right line to write
Can't fight it anymore
Notebook pages scattered on the floor

And what's it all for?
Does anyone understand?
Does anyone really know what I am?
Does anyone really give a damn
About the words that I write
And the person that I am?

Does anyone understand?
Does anyone really know what I am?
Does anyone really give a damn
About the words that I write
And the person that I am?

Life is just one big burn
Life is just one big burn
Life is just one big burn
Like a sunburn that you earn

Life is just one big burn
Life is just one big burn
Life is just one big burn
Like a sunburn that you earn

Writing words can be harder than you think
My head just ran out of ink
I was trying to decide what to tell, what to hide
Which sides of my life
To reveal in due time

I've got places I keep in the dark
I've got secret pieces and parts
And what they are, I really can't say
If I don't give them a name
Then they just might go away

Life is all make believe
It's just a phony scheme
A screwed up dream that we're livin'
And there's so much that I've given
To people thinking they'd be nice in return
But I had to learn

Life is just one big burn
It's like a sunburn that you earn
It stays with you forever
Stays with you forever

And what's it all for?
Does anyone understand?
Does anyone really know what I am?
Does anyone really give a damn
About the words that I write
And the person that I am?

Does anyone understand?
Does anyone really know what I am?
Does anyone really give a damn
About the words that I write
And the person that I am?

Life is just one big burn
Life is just one big burn
Life is just one big burn
Like a sunburn that you earn

Life is just one big burn
Life is just one big burn
Life is just one big burn
Like a sunburn that you earn
