Burn - Sevendust

Wash away the colors of the shame that you gave to me

So I can see again, so I can live again

Wash away the colors of the shame that you gave to me

So I can see again, so I can live again

(wash it away, release me)

(never free) I don’t know what I want but I know

(i don’t want this) a sleep of content I’m here

Again and always (intent on believ’n)

Wash away the colors of the shame that you gave to me

So I can see again, so I can live again

I pray the day will come when you will see

What you took from me,

From where it all began, the way I used to be

Wash away the colors of the shame that you gave to me

So I can see again, so I can live again

I pray the day will come when you will see

What you took from me,

From where it all began, the way I used to be

(wash it away — release me)

(i can’t take this anymore)

I lied to myself, remembering the things said

Things you said to me, no answer for help

Empty promises were all I heard, never meant to be

Destroy me, control me, don’t hold me, release me from your hands

Give me back the life you took and:

Wash away the colors of the shame that you gave to me

So I can see again, so I can live again

I pray the day will come when you will see

What you took from me,

From where it all began, the way I used to be

Wash away the colors of the shame that you gave to me

So I can see again, so I can live again

I pray the day will come when you will see

What you took from me,

From where it all began, the way I used to be

I often wonder how it came to this again

I often wonder why it had to end

I often wonder how it came to this again

I often wonder why it had to end

Forgive you just the same

I often wonder how it came to this again

Never meant to be

I often wonder why it had to end

Forgive you all the same

I often wonder how it came to this again

Never meant to be

I often wonder why it had to end

Because of what you took from me
