Burning Up

Said you're burnin' up inside, no one seems to tell
You're living from a personalized manual from hell
Life is pretty easy when it's from my easy chair
And you're burnin' up inside and no one cares
Said you had enough this time, cause time don't treat you well
You always cried coincidence, while I drew parallel
Life it seems so easy when it's from my easy chair
And you're burnin' up inside, burnin' up inside
burnin' up inside and you hurt me!
Try to take my hand tonight, I'll show you where to start
'Cause every word that left your lips is like a needle through
my heart
And life it seems so easy when it's from my easy chair And
you're burnin' up inside, burnin' up inside
burnin' up inside and you hurt my eyes
(cause you're burnin' up inside)
Hurt my eyes
(cause you're burnin' up inside)
Hurt my eyes
(cause you're burnin' up inside)
