Lyrics

You struck a match and walked away
I had no chance to catch my breath,
I felt the heat, I heard you say:

‘A flame is like a thing alive,
By sparing no one we survive
The raging fire, the heated stares,
Those temperamental, cheap affairs’.

But I’m Still Burning, errant cinder,
Born to torch the highest tinder
Smoldering in my expectation,
You are cool, beneath elation
Your heart doesn’t skip a beat,
You are hell without the heat
But I’m Still Burning

I couldn’t stand the searing pain,
I bowed my head for will to act
For strength to bear, for cooling rain

I watched the fire go to town,
It was the fastest thing around
Sand turned to glass, that awful sound,
Of dying torches tumbling down

Chorus

I struggled all the same,
To find safe haven from you
Though you’re immune to shame,
I’d rather die than love you.

Still Burning
Still Burning
I’m Still Burning
