Matchbox Twenty The Burn song lyrics

I thought about

Leaving - but I couldn't even get outta bed

I'm hanging 'cause I couldn't get a ride outta town

Now anyone who really wanted me to be down

Come 'round

I thought about

Singin' but I couldn't remember all of the words

Breakin' but I couldn't get the pieces apart

Laughin' never knowing what the joke was about

Now I'm down

And I wonder how I never got the Burn

And if I'm ever gonna learn

How lonely people make a life

One strain at a time

Forgot about

Everything and everyone I needed before

Tryin' to get a handle on a reason to shine

Pickin' up the pieces that are falling behind

Takes time

So I wonder how I never got the Burn

And if I'm ever gonna learn

How lonely people make a life

One strain at a time and still shine

And I wonder how I never got the Burn

And if I'm ever gonna learn

How lonely people make a life

All this time I wonder how I never got the Burn

And if I'm ever gonna learn

How lonely people make the life

One strain at a time and still shine
