Something's Burning - Kenny Rogers

Can't even begin to explain This all too well familiar pain That comes, and it goes, but it gets in my bones all the same, mmm Well, maybe I'm a fool for falling in love with you When I had nothing left to lose And nothing more I could give, went down with your sinking ship Now I don't think I'll make it through, through Now it's only the beat of my heart That reminds me not to stare at the sparks Can't set fire to my soul Just to keep ya, keep ya, keep ya from burning alone 'Cause the longer you convince me to stay Our salvation's slipping further away Can't set fire to my soul Just to keep ya, keep ya, keep ya from burning alone Forget everything we've come to expect It only serves to further fuck with our heads And I don't wanna pretend this will all be alright in the end, mmm So maybe now instead of balancing on the edge We could put this to bed for good Can call it quits or risk sinking with this broken ship But I don't think we'd make it through, through Now it's only the beat of my heart That reminds me not to stare at the sparks Can't set fire to my soul Just to keep ya, keep ya, keep ya from burning alone 'Cause the longer you convince me to stay Our salvation's slipping further away Can't set fire to my soul Just to keep ya, keep ya, keep ya from burning alone I wish I could stay, I wish I could lie Do whatever it takes to get you through the night I can't be the one, I can't take the fall Can't go up in the flames to keep your body warm Now it's only the beat of my heart That reminds me not to stare at the sparks Can't set fire to my soul Just to keep ya, keep ya, keep ya from burning alone 'Cause the longer you convince me to stay Our salvation's slipping further away Can't set fire to my soul Just to keep ya, keep ya, keep ya from burning alone

The child of burning time The child of burning time My only consolation is all lies The apex of my consequence is dying here tonight Winter hasn't ended, and it always looks like rain I can't remember anything, anything Inside the absolution, we succumb And appetites are bittersweet, I think I'm going numb A chance to give up avarice has marked my one regret The child of burning time is gone, and he hasn't come back yet Before I tell my story, please consider who I am I missed my window years ago, I'm doing all I can A tragedy is commonplace, but in the end, they go away My skin is still the only stain I'm left to wear in shame I cut my name into my heart I'll tear it all apart I beg you burn me away I won't become your hero just to fight the life I save Burn me away I won't give up tomorrow just to lose it all today I burn away, I burn away I burn away, I burn away My isolation is my course The effect it has on life itself is a cancer on its source I rue the moments spent between the fetish and the flame Until this war is over, I won't ever lose my rage I cut my name into my soul I guess I'll never know I beg you burn me away I won't become your hero just to fight the life I save Burn me away I won't give up tomorrow just to lose it all today Burn me away I won't become your hero just to fight the life I save Burn me away I won't give up tomorrow just to lose it all, lose it all today

I walked myself right into hell To try and save you I gave up everything I love Just to try and help you And it's done nothing But tear me apart I'd set myself on fire To try and keep your heart Now I'm burning here alone In this burning home You set the match And then you left me on my own In this burning home With the flames that you let grow In this burning burning home I watched our memories turn to ashes I was made of glass You were made of plastic Paying the price for loving Someone who doesn't deserve it Oh, how did I end up here Now I'm burning here alone In this burning home You set the match And then you left me on my own In this burning home With the flames that you let grow In this burning, burning home Burning home burning home Burning home

You got a fast car I want a ticket to anywhere Maybe we make a deal Maybe together we can get somewhere Any place is better Startin' from zero, got nothing to lose Maybe we'll make something Me, myself, I got nothing to prove You got a fast car I got a plan to get us out of here I been working at the convenience store Managed to save just a little bit of money Won't have to drive too far Just across the border and into the city You and I can both get jobs Finally see what it means to be living See, my old man's got a problem He lives with the bottle, that's the way it is He says his body's too old for working His body's too young to look like his Mama went off and left him She wanted more from life than he could give I said, "somebody's got to take care of him" So I quit school and that's what I did You got a fast car Is it fast enough so we can fly away? Still gotta make a decision Leave tonight, or live and die this way So, I remember when we were driving, driving in your car Speed so fast, I felt like I was drunk City lights lay out before us And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder And I, I, had a feeling that I belonged I, I, had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone You got a fast car We go cruisin', entertain ourselves You still ain't got a job So I work in a market as a checkout girl I know things will get better You'll find work and I'll get promoted We'll move out of the shelter Buy a bigger house, live in the suburbs So, I remember when we were driving, driving in your car Speed so fast, I felt like I was drunk City lights lay out before us And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder And I, I, had a feeling that I belonged I, I, had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone You got a fast car I got a job that pays all our bills You stay out drinking late at the bar See more of your friends than you do of your kids I'd always hoped for better Thought maybe together you and me would find it I got no plans, I ain't going nowhere So take your fast car and keep on driving So, I remember when we were driving, driving in your car Speed so fast, I felt like I was drunk City lights lay out before us And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder And I, I, had a feeling that I belonged I, I, had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone You got a fast car Is it fast enough so you can fly away? You still gotta make a decision Leave tonight, or live and die this way
