Literature Text

I try to make it as close to perfect
But to do so I'll need to play with fire
There's a chance it could be worth it
There's a chance I'll lose what's acquired

I'm just look to be accepted
Why does it have to be this way
You have your own imperfections
Don't raise your first to me today

Chorus:Every time it gets good
It gets lost in the falsehood
If only you understood
But you think that I should
Why can't we be free
Why must you disagree
I'm on my hands and knees
You won't hear my pleas
Burned, Burned, Burned, Burned
Burned, Burned, Burned, Burned

Some say you really only fall for one
Don't ruin the one chance I got
I don't want this love to be done
Just because we are and they're not

I give you questions but I don't get answers
Why should I live in this role
I tell you I was born this way
And this is out of my control

(Chorus)x2
Burned by Ellen Hopkins inspired me to write a song about it. And there it is.

Burned is about a Mormon girl who questions her religion, her abusive father, and her life in general. It's pretty amazing. =]
