Play the game of indecision, come what may, she knows it isn't just

His voice on the line, one final time she hears thunder

Precious lies when she played her part

Still she tries, because hope dies hard

With broken wings, she can feel the sting like a backhand over the telephone



In her eyes, shimmers twilight, drivin' hard, it gives up the fight

And she fights it back, knowing that the dam could break wide open



Chorus:

Burning down inside, nobody wants to be lonely

Burning down inside, the harder they come, the harder she falls



To her face, I show my arm, I walk away, before I do more harm

And with the damage done, she won't know where to run or who to run to



chorus



Turnin' like a spinning wheel, dancin' on her head

Tries so hard to walk away, she falls in love instead



(Solo)



My head says, we should always go our own ways, never get too close

When she can hear my heart, if she comes apart, I'll be waiting



chorus repeats 2x



Burning down inside - the harder she falls - burning down inside

Burning down inside, the harder they come, the harder she falls



Burning down inside, burning down inside

Burning down inside, the harder they come, the harder she falls

(repeats out)
