Would you believe me
if i said i'd never lie
though it ain't easy
i can tell you i have tried
but i got to say
that it comes those days
that i told something untrue
would you forgive me
if i said i'd lied to you
This is my fear
to tell you what i've done
as things come clear
i'm afraid that you'll be gone
but all i know
is if you go
at least i've told what's true
hope you'll forgive me
when i say i've lied to you
I'm burning up
i'm burning for you
when the truth has been spoken
there's nothing i can do
yes i'm burning up
i'm burning for you
when the truth has been spoken
there's nothing i can do
How will you kill me
for what i'm about to tell
please do it gently
'cause you know i'm bound for hell
all i know is
i've lost my soul
i'm burning inside
hope you'll forgive me
yes i have lied
oh yes i've lied
I'm burning up
i'm burning for you
when the truth has been spoken
there's nothing i can do
yes i'm burning up
i'm burning for you
when the truth has been spoken
there's nothing i can do
Now you know that i've gone
and i've been untrue to you
and once it's told
well you know there's nothing we can do
i regret that i let this get so out of hand
i pray, please stay, that you'll understand
I'm burning up
i'm burning for you
when the truth has been spoken
there's nothing i can do
yes i'm burning up
i'm burning for you
when the truth has been spoken
there's nothing i can do
I'm burning up...
