Burning Lyrics by Tems
It was all a dream
Just a new girl on the scene
Got your face on magazines
How it feel? It’s killing me
But do you care to see?
Plenty fire in my eyes
Just the way I like to be
Will I stay, will I leave?
I could figure out myself
When I’m distant in my world
I could hold on to the past
And be absolutely mad
But I let go of my sins
just searchin’ for my wings
If you know where I’ll find it
I would take a limousine
Guess we’re all burnin’
Burnin’ and burnin’
Burnin’
Burnin’ and burnin’
Burnin’
Burnin’ and burnin’
Burnin’
Burnin’ and burnin’
