Burn

Why does this burn me so?

I tell myself to just let you go
That nothing will ever come of us
But I give in to feel your touch
I know you will probably never let me in
Yet I stay even though I know I cannot win.
Baby why do you have such a hold on me?
Why can’t I just let you go and be free?
Am I really already in too deep?
Am I really already taking this leap?
I told myself not to sacrifice my light
But when I look into your eyes it feels so right
And together we burn so bright
Should I be patient and see how it goes
And cry when I leave because I already know
That you will never let me in
That a person like you will never come again
That once again I’m at a dead end
That you have become such a good friend
That I know you will eventually break me
And that I know your kiss sets me free
I want to protect myself from harm
But I want to be in your arms
I don’t know if I should stay or just let you go
But oh, how your affection burns me so.
 
Let this burn, let this go
