I knew the silly game that I was playing
When I saw the softest sun rise o'er the fence
I knew what all I'd earned when the tender light
Reminded me of the way you took my hands and told me
We're gonna burn
Though we make the sweetest flame, ya we're gonna burn
Too happy to desert who we were holding
Deceiving as unholy lovers do
We slipped out the back so you could scream our wishes to the sky
I turned away, I shook my head, and I told you
We're gonna burn
Though we make the sweetest flame, ya we're gonna burn
Though we make the sweetest flame, ya we're gonna burn
Though we make the sweetest flame, ya we're gonna burn
I would grieve if I knew not where I was going
I would worry if I thought I had the time
I would hold you if I thought that you would let me
I would kiss you if it wasn't such a crime
I would grieve if I knew not where I was going
I would worry if I thought I had the time
And I would hold you if I thought that you would let me
I would kiss you if it wasn't such a crime
I would kiss you if it wasn't such a crime
If it wasn't such a crime
So I will make a ghost out of you
So you can make a ghost out of me
Cause ghosts they don't
Burn
Though we make the sweetest flame, ya we're gonna burn
Though we make the sweetest flame, ya we're gonna burn
Though we make the sweetest flame, ya we're gonna burn...
