"Burning Heart" lyrics

"Burning Heart"
(live version)

Look, maybe I'll start
I mean you can if you want to, but if you won't
I can start 'cause I've been thinking over
Every single thing
I might've ever said and done
And there are just so many things
I wish I hadn't said and done

And I feel heavy
Now that things are said and done
I just feel heavy
'Cause I'm carrying around all of this with me
And if I never make a sound
It might just kill me

I been swallowing it down for such a long time
Yeah, I've been sittin' with this now for quite a long time
And the problem isn't yours, it's really all mine
And what I really wanna tell you is that sometimes

Not every single time, but probably most times
I wish all that fault was yours but it was all mine
And since we're being honest for the first time
In a long time
I see you everywhere I go

And everywhere I go
I feel the same damn burning heart
The same damn burning heart
The same damn burning heart
The same damn burning heart

Now here's the worst part
I guess I'll never know for sure what made us go wrong
I can tell 'cause I've been searching
For some broken, missing piece
But it's not any single thing
It's just a million little pinpricks
And their million little stings

That almost broke us
But I don't think we have to let that break us
And that's hard for you and me
But you know, so what?
Who got anywhere by leaving every door shut?
I'm just asking if you feel the way I'm feeling?
Like this hurt that I'm afraid just might start healing

That I don't wanna lose 'cause it's the one thing
That I really wanna feel and maybe sometimes
Not every single time, but probably most times
I know every fault of ours and I can own mine
And since we're being open for the first time
In a long time
I see you everywhere I go

And everywhere I go
I feel the same damn burning heart
The same damn burning heart
The same damn burning heart

I see you everywhere I go
And everywhere I go
I feel the same damn burning heart
The same damn burning heart
The same damn burning heart
The same damn burning heart
The same damn burning heart
The same damn burning heart
