Burn Bright, Die Young

Burn Bright, Die Young

Saw you the other day

I wasn't expecting

Took me by surprise

I don't wanna go back

Into my mind

Digging up the secrets we buried to leave 

It was kind of pleasant to see you

Though you didn't see me

I think I want to keep it that way

Can you still not look me in the face?

That's okay

I'll be on my way

Leave the memory of you to never see the day

Still, you were not a mistake

Lone wolf you always claimed

I always found my way to those

You took more than you gave

I really didn't give my all

That's not what we signed up for

No strings, nothing there to work for

Except company and what I came for

Those silly days I would explore 

I don't want to go there

It's been a long, long time

And if I tried to go there

Darling, you still wouldn't be mine
