Burn to Shine - Ben Lee

You called me early one morning

And said you were glad I was home

You were lying there flat on your back

Getting drunk playing guitar alone

Did she say

She was leaving the very next day

Did you beg her to stay

Did you beg her to stay

You got to burn to shine

You got to burn to shine

You got to burn to shine

It doesn’t get easy get empty get older

And realize we actually die

Filled up with fear and the question persists

That you just might be living a lie

And I saw, as you beat your tired fists on the wall

Are you asking for more

Are you asking for more

You got to burn to shine

You got to burn to shine

You got to burn to shine

You got to burn to shine

You got to burn to shine

You got to burn to shine

I’m keepin' it together

Just keep it together at best

Somewhere inside of me

I know that this is a test

You got to burn to shine

You got to burn to shine

You got to burn to shine

You got to burn to shine

You got to burn to shine

You got to burn to shine
