'Burn'

I planned to put this up on Tuesday but too much happened this week!!! This was one of my favourite lyrics to write. I wrote it a few years ago now. Hope you like it. Comments welcome.

It's called:

BURN

V1:

The mascara stains are the least of my worries

The mascara trains left after the rain

All the pain I thought it was worth it

Cos he really loves me

But now I see what a fool I’ve been

The mascara tracks still show

No matter how many times I wash my face you know

They’ll be there for all time

Cos I really thought he was mine for life

Chorus:

I really thought he would be there for me

He’d care for me

And tend to my every need

But no I was blind

Cos all he did in our time

Was not love me in return

Guess I know now why the tears burn

V2:

The mascara leaves its mark and I regret

Ever wearing it cos now I can’t forget

All the pain and heart break he cost me

Cos he never loved me

And I’m such a damned fool

To think for a second he was being true

But he wasn’t oh no

It haunts relentlessly like the tears on my pillow

(Repeat Chorus)

M8:

I was really in deep

And I thought he was with me

Yes I really thought he cared

That he’d always be there

He’d tend to my every need

Not leave my heart to bleed

But I was blind

Cos all he did in our time

Was not love me in return

Guess now I know

Now I know why the tears burn.
