Burn to shine


We made love until we cried
And cried ourselves to laughter
Laughed until we realized
Our hearts were struck with fear
How in just a moment's time
Could one see forever after
I gently lie beside you
And dream away with my tears
Won't you let me treat you kind?
We're gonna burn to shine
Won't you let me treat you kind?
We're gonna burn to shine

Funny things you learn from your mama
Like the way you throw your head back when swallowing pills
Funny things you learn from your papa
Like when you're talking you just can't keep your hands still

But that was now and this is then
It never lasts for long
How I miss the good old days
But I'm so glad they're gone

Won't you let me treat you kind?
We're gonna burn to shine
Won't you let me treat you kind?
We're gonna burn to shine

I'd like to spend the time that you
Would like to spend with me
So that you could help me out with my dependancy
'Cos I'm hoplessly addicted
Addicted to your sorrow
Makes me never wanna work, beg or borrow

Won't you let me treat you kind?
We're gonna burn to shine
Won't you let me treat you kind?
We're gonna burn to shine

Thank you because you correct this lyrics
