"Built For Burning" lyrics

"Built For Burning"

On fire, girl, that's what we were
Struck the match on the dash, while them good years turned
Too young to even know 'bout love
But we swore we had forever in my two-tone truck

We lit a cigarette, said we should try again
But we both know the end

We were built for burnin', lovin', hurtin'
Love to turn a good thing into ash
Had somethin' runnin', smoke to nothin'
We built it up just to watch it all crash
Now look where we are, fallin' apart
Back at the start
No, we never learned, every hurt
Keeps gettin' worse
But baby, we were built for burnin'

Shit, you call when the whiskey quits
Tellin' that you're done and you need my lips
All over your body, you say to go, then you stop me
Why you keep addin' gas to the flame?

We were built for burnin', lovin', hurtin'
Love to turn a good thing into ash
Had somethin' runnin', smoke to nothin'
We built it up just to watch it all crash
Now look where we are, fallin' apart
Back at the start
No, we never learned, every hurt
Keeps gettin' worse
But baby, we were built for burnin'

We lit a cigarette, said we should try again
But we both know the end

We were built for burnin', lovin', hurtin'
Love to turn a good thing into ash
Had somethin' runnin', smoke to nothin'
We built it up just to watch it all crash
Now look where we are, fallin' apart
Back at the start
No, we never learned, every hurt
Keeps gettin' worse
But baby, we were built for burnin'

Oh yeah
We were built for burnin'
