Burn to Shine lyrics

This empty room it fills my mind
Freedom it leaves me confined
Every single wall has cracked
But in this life you can't turn back

I don't want to live,
I don't want to live alone
Alone
Alone
Alone

As these words are with my tongue
I question why they're even sung
I have promised but I lied
I don't even know myself inside

I don't want to be,
I don't wanna be here alone
Alone

We made love until we cried and cried ourselves to laughter
Laughed until we realised our hearts were struck with fear
How in just a moments time could one see forever after
I gently lie beside of you and dream away 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,

II could give you more, but you still wouldn't be happy
I could give all you need, but you still wouldn't be satisfied
I could give to our poor
Now what good would that be?
You'd shake hands with Jesus
And you still would not believe

If you're happy with nothing you'll be so very happy with me
The less you expect the more you'll be pleased
The more you'll be pleased

You, you've been lookin' at me
Just a little too long
Now I can never look the same
Blindness and kindness
There's no difference in the two
When I can no longer see the good in you

So won't you show me a little shame
Won't you show me a little shame

Now cause I'm, I'm a gentle man
Lookin' for a gentle woman
So-called ladies
They keep breaking my heart
Show me a house
Show me a home

Won't you sing me the blues?
Won't you sing me the blues?
Sing me something my heart can use
Misery loves a symphony

Does your face, your pretty face
Get lost in the crowd
And you say no ones' there
To hear you cry outloud
What will you do suzie blue?

Where'd you learn to do that so well?
Where'd you learn to do that so well?
I guess that would be like kiss and tell

First time that I saw her she had white doves in her eyes
She spoke to me but I could not reply, not reply
She was a stranger I had known for years
She brought to me so many smiles and tears, smiles and tears

The two hands of a prayer
Together like the two hands of a prayer
Together like the two hands of a prayer
Together like the two hands of a prayer
