Everybody's Been Burned

Everybody’s been burned before
Everybody knows the pain
Anyone in this place
Can tell you to your face
Why you shouldn’t try to love someone

Everybody knows it never works
Everybody knows and me
I know that door that shuts
Just before you get to the dream
You see…

I know all too well
How to turn, how to run
How to hide behind
A bitter wall of blue
But you die inside
If you choose to hide
So I guess instead, I’ll love you
