Burned Alive

It has been so long,
Since you fell from the sky,
What once seemed so strong,
Has gone missing from your eye.

You used to at least like me,
But I shouldn't expect anyone should,
I try too hard for you and I,
And I would give you the world if I could.

For now I must just live with the truth,
And hope to in the future strive,
Let you live your youth,
While I'm but a lover burned alive.

Even through the darkest hour,
I remain faithful to the one I long,
I do what I can with little power,
But this is what you wanted all along.

For me to stand without you being mine,
Maybe you will see,
That I'm not wasting time,
But time is wasting me.

For now I must just live with the truth,
And hope to in the future strive,
Let you live your youth,
While I'm but a lover burned alive.

Burns are only external,
Pain brings in the dark,
The flame is eternal,
Inside my heart.

I can't contain the fire,
I don't know what to do,
What if my burning desire,
Decides to burn you?

For now I must just live with the truth,
And hope to in the future strive,
Let you live your youth,
While I'm but a lover burned alive.

Maybe we're wasting time,
Or time is wasting we,
Maybe this feeling is my crime,
Perhaps time is what is really burning me.
