Lyrics

Can you remember, the way the street lights shined on you?
Back before we learned all what we’d go through?

Can you still feel, the way that I have always felt for you?
The beating heart and soul that I will give to you!

And now with all the smoke and fire I spew out
All the time that I let you down
When all I hear inside my tired head is drowning out
The love that you beg and wish I’d found

I try and say

Please,
don’t be afraid
I may be gone today
But when the flames cool and start to fade

I’ll be your burning man
I’ll be your burning man
And I will face the dark before my grave
And return to you
All the light you gave
Just understand
I’ll be your burning man.

Can you still see, the broken things that I left at your feet?
I never meant for you my soul to keep.

Can you hear, I’m begging you to forgive me?
The fire burned and consumed me

But we stood before those smoking bridges
And even then it never ended
Please say my dear you are forgiven
But now my words have been suspended

But

I try and say

Please,
don’t be afraid
I may be gone today
But when the flames cool and start to fade

I’ll be your burning man
I’ll be your burning man
And I will face the dark before my grave
And return to you
All the light you gave
Just understand
I’ll be your burning man.
