Before It Burned (Deluxe Edition Bonus Track)

(album: The Story Of Us - 2017)

My heart falls on my chest, beats crazy when I'm around you
Most times I'm sweating bullets soon as we're let outta school
'Cause I don't wanna find you standing there with someone new
I think I have to kill myself if somebody knew

The way that I feel when you say my name but don't shout it
The sun's on your face, but everything else is too clouded

I go back and forth and now I'm wondering
Why you're so caught up in his lust
I stand outside with distance
And I can tell, way deep down, that there's no trust
I can't stand how it feels
Knowing you'll never see me more than just
A face in the crowd, a tape on the ground
A flame that went out before it burned

I never tried, it's so one-sided, so I can't blame you
There's no denying I caught your eye, then I looked at my shoes
I pray so hard, need back those chances I always blew
I think I have to kill myself if somebody knew

The way that I feel when you say my name but don't shout it
The sun's on your face, but everything else is too clouded
And all that I need is that simple sound from those lips
'Cause you've been playing me over and over again
Playing me over and over again

I go back and forth and now I'm wondering
Why you're so caught up in his lust
I stand outside with distance
And I can tell, way deep down, that there's no trust
I can't stand how it feels
Knowing you'll never see me more than just
A face in the crowd, a tape on the ground
A flame that went out before it burned

I go back and forth and now I'm wondering
Why you're so caught up in his lust
I stand outside with distance
And I can tell, way deep down, that there's no trust
I can't stand how it feels
Knowing you'll never see me more than just
A face in the crowd, a tape on the ground
A flame that went out before it burned
