"Burn" lyrics

Pour salt into my wounds
Build a fire in them of you
Light this house up with truth
It reminds me of my youth
It was reckless and dissolute

Well, it hits the window seal
The rain coming from the hills
It'll rust my heart of steel
But tell you words I hear
They tell you something real

And it had to be this way
And I hoped that I could make you stay
I've got to feel the burn
It's the only way I learn
It's the only way I learn

And I'll wear you on my skin
Until I'm dirt again
And if my heart won't mend
I'd do it all again
Just to feel you on my skin
When those wolves come out to feed
And they show those jagged teeth
But my soul they cannot eat
Because I gave you the key
And it don't belong to me

And it had to be this way
And I hope that I could make you stay
I've got to feel the burn
It's the only way I learn
Its the only way I learn

And it had to be this way
And I hope that I can make you stay
I've got to feel the burn
It's the only way I learn
It's the only way I learn
Got to feel the burn
It's the only way I learn
