Burning Herself - 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]
