Wrapped up. Spat out in your self doubt
Should I rip my heart out
Pack it up and send it to you
Things said in anger
Said for gain
Said to cut down
I'll never hear again
Well a part of me sees it all too clear
But another part still burns
For the safety, for the comfort
But our hate outgrew our love and ate it
I can see it started years ago
And I recognise your pain
But I can't forget the innocence
That you've taken from me
Now I see you
But I can't hear you
No - I can't hate you
No - And I don't want to break you down
There's just some things that I want to tell you
Now that you're not hear to drown me out
I've just got to break through
I collect the poison as it spills from your mouth
Savour the taste so that I may work you out
When affection becomes affliction
Let it go
Been watching for far too long
Far too long to get this wrong
I've got the scars to prove it
Snap straight back and I'm here to use it
Delay the memory of the facts and what's outside
Left with your mind, the only place to hide
'cause your so bitter insideKeep on a slow burner
From Monday till Friday
Keep on a slow burner
Ank I'll take its place
Stay lonely, for four midnights
Till I'm holding you tight
Keep on a slow burner
And I'll take its place
Keep on a slow burner
From Monday till Friday
Keep on a slow burner
I'll take its place
Work hard now
But not too much
Don't damage your soft touch
Keep on a slow burner
And I'll take its place
Keep on a slow burner etc...
