Quinn XCII – Before It Burned lyrics

[Verse 1]
My heart falls on my chest, beats crazy when I'm around you
Most times I'm sweating bullets soon as we're let outta school
'Cause I don't wanna find you standing there with somebody new
I think I'd have to kill myself if somebody knew

[Pre-Chorus 1]
The way that I feel when you say my name but don't shout it
The sun's on your face, but everything else is too clouded

[Chorus]
I go back and forth in my room wondering
Why you're so caught up in his lust
I stand outside with distance
And I can tell, way deep down, that there's no trust
I can't stand how it feels
Knowing you'll never see me more than just
A face in the crowd, a tape on the ground
A flame that went out before it burned

[Verse 2]
I never tried, it's so one-sided, so I can't blame you
There's no denying I caught your eye, then I looked at my shoes
I pray so hard, need back those chances I always blew
I think I'd have to kill myself if somebody knew

[Pre-Chorus 2]
The way that I feel when you say my name but don't shout it
The sun's on your face, but everything else is too clouded
And all that I need is that simple sound from those lips
'Cause you've been playing me over and over again
Playing me over and over again

[Chorus]
I go back and forth in my room wondering
Why you're so caught up in his lust
I stand outside with distance
And I can tell, way deep down, that there's no trust
I can't stand how it feels
Knowing you'll never see me more than just
A face in the crowd, a tape on the ground
A flame that went out before it burned

[Outro]
I go back and forth in my room wondering
Why you're so caught up in his lust
I stand outside with distance
And I can tell, way deep down, that there's no trust
I can't stand how it feels
Knowing you'll never see me more than just
A face in the crowd, a tape on the ground
A flame that went out before it burned
