Not the Kind that Burns
By Annemarie B
Verse
I watch you sleeping when I can’t sleep
Living this lie keeps me from dreaming
You think it’s all good between us
Running from the truth keeps me from leaving
Chorus
I know that I love you
But it’s not the kind that burns
I’m going through the motions
And I hate myself for that
And when we move together
There’s a shadow in my heart
And a place my mind goes to
To keep from falling apart
Verse
You look at me and your face is beaming
With a love I silently deny
Ever grows the space between us
You’ll never know just how bad I tried
Chorus
I know that I love you
But it’s not the kind that burns
I’m going through the motions
And I resent you for that
And when we move together
There’s a shadow in my heart
And a place my mind goes to
To keep from falling apart
Please know that I loved you
But not the kind that burned
I watch you sleeping when I can’t sleep
Living this lie keeps me from dreaming
You think it’s all good between us
Running from the truth keeps me from leaving
Chorus
I know that I love you
But it’s not the kind that burns
I’m going through the motions
And I hate myself for that
And when we move together
There’s a shadow in my heart
And a place my mind goes to
To keep from falling apart
