Burning Herself (LP Version) - Harry Chapin[00:00:03]
She was crazy[00:00:13]
She was beautiful[00:00:14]
I guess she had to be[00:00:16]
And I was angry[00:00:20]
You were blind[00:00:23]
Because I could not see[00:00:24]
Except for what her cigarettes[00:00:28]
Had done to her skin[00:00:31]
I should have known the outside world[00:00:34]
Would reveal what was within[00:00:38]
But she was burning herself[00:00:43]
And her hair was filled with ashes[00:00:45]
She was burning herself[00:00:49]
And her life became a flame[00:00:50]
She was burning herself[00:00:54]
And the flame became her passion[00:00:56]
She was burning herself[00:00:59]
And her passion her passion was her pain[00:01:01]
She was trusting[00:01:15]
You could have saved her too[00:01:17]
All hope had passed for her[00:01:19]
And I was lusting[00:01:22]
And she gave to you[00:01:24]
That's all I asked for her[00:01:26]
The marks upon her body[00:01:29]
And the marks upon her mind[00:01:32]
I knew I could have erased them[00:01:36]
If I'd only taken the time[00:01:39]
But she was burning herself[00:01:45]
And her hair was filled with ashes[00:01:47]
She was burning herself[00:01:51]
And her life became a flame[00:01:52]
She was burning herself[00:01:56]
And the flame became her passion[00:01:58]
She was burning herself[00:02:01]
And her passion her passion was her pain[00:02:03]
I never saw her do it[00:02:18]
I only saw the scars[00:02:21]
I never could imagine[00:02:24]
What could make her go that far[00:02:27]
I wondered was she driven[00:02:32]
By a desperate need to feel[00:02:35]
To find out she was really living[00:02:39]
To discover that her life was real[00:02:42]
Or was it that the pain[00:02:46]
Slicing through her like a knife[00:02:49]
Was easier to take[00:02:52]
Than the emptiness of life[00:02:55]
Had a strange sense of drama[00:03:00]
Caught her inside a role[00:03:03]
Or was she trying to cauterize[00:03:06]
The changes on her sole[00:03:10]
I don't know I don't know[00:03:13]
I don't know her passion was her pain[00:03:15]
