Lyrics Silverstein – Burning Hearts

The blood is rushing to my head
This room is spinning around the bed
A flashing image perforates
Tarnishes memories of grace

And if my body makes it out
Unscathed and safe from broken vows
A promise spoken leaves me holding on
I just can’t get a hold of
Why we always hurt the ones we love
Can burning hearts still keep us strong

A crack has formed in the foundation
The floor is falling out from under me
A pleading loser makes his case
A liar shakes his head and breaks
A life of honor turns into his shame

And if my body makes it out
Unscathed and safe from broken vows
A promise spoken leaves me holding on
I just can’t get a hold of
Why we always hurt the ones we love
Can burning hearts still keep us strong

It’s all my fault
This eagle’s flying
Down below where shadows fall
Now it’s sinking in
And I’m sinking into this
Place I never thought I’d crawl
You can’t trust me, I’m not worthy
You won’t ever feel this way

The storm is moving overhead
The wind is blowing back, we’ve been mislead

And if my body makes it out
Unscathed and safe from broken vows
A promise spoken leaves me holding on
I just can’t get a hold of
Why we always hurt the ones we love
Can burning hearts still keep us strong
