Burning Herself
Lyricist:Harry F. Chapin
She was crazy (She was beautiful) I guess she had to be And I was angry (You were blind) Because I could not see
Except for what her cigarettes Had done to her skin I should have known the outside world Would reveal what was within
But she was burning herself And her hair was filled with ashes She was burning herself And her life became a flame
She was burning herself And the flame became her passion She was burning herself And her passion, her passion was her pain
She was trusting (You could have saved her too) All hope had passed for her And I was lusting (And she gave to you) That's all I asked for her
The marks upon her body And the marks upon her mind I knew I could have erased them If I'd only taken the time Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com
But she was burning herself And her hair was filled with ashes She was burning herself And her life became a flame
She was burning herself And the flame became her passion She was burning herself And her passion, her passion was her pain
I never saw her do it I only saw the scars I never could imagine What could make her go that far
I wondered was she driven By a desperate need to feel To find out she was really living To discover that her life was real
Or was it that the pain Slicing through her like a knife Was easier to take Than the emptiness of life
Had a strange sense of drama Caught her inside a role Or was she trying to cauterize The changes on her sole?
I don't know, I don't know I don't know, her passion was her pain
