Are you asking for more
Did you beg her to stay
Are you asking for more
That you just might be living a lie
Did she say
She was leaving the very next day
You got to burn to shine
You got to burn to shine
You were lying there flat on your back
You got to burn to shine
Getting drunk playing guitar alone
You got to burn to shine
You got to burn to shine
I'm keepin' it together
You got to burn to shine
You got to burn to shine
You got to burn to shine
Filled up with fear and the question persists
You got to burn to shine
Your tired fists on the wall
Just keep it together at best
You got to burn to shine
And realize we actually die
It doesn't get easy, get empty, get older
I know that this is a test
Somewhere inside of me
You got to burn to shine
You got to burn to shine
Did you beg her to stay
And I saw, as you beat
You got to burn to shine
You got to burn to shine
