Lyric Burn Slow

The night that you first touched me
You shook me from my peace, then took me from a safe place
You took me from a safe place and you stole my heart s ease

You act like a mortician, presiding at a wake
I close the lid on passion
Knowing well what s at stake
Your love consumed me wholly
At times I could not breathe
I daren t love you solely
Always felt you might leave

I offered you my soul like a humble sacrifice
You put it under a glass
Then you put it
on ice, on ice, on ice,
on ice, on ice, on ice,
on ice, on ice, on ice

And now that love has burned me
I m waiting by the pyre
I thought my eyes were open
When I started the fire
And then to pile on insult, after the injury
You said my soul was tarnished
How you rubbed off on me!

Well now that all s been done and
We ve had our last farewell
I m burning all your letters, watching them all
burn slow, burn slow,
burn slow, burn slow,
(repeat)
