Burned

(Sheila Blackburn)

Sometimes you just can't 'give' any more in a relationship. It feels like which ever way you go you are going to be hurt. These lyrics capture the feelings of withdrawing from the fray for self protection.

So good when we first met like lightning strike
I thought that we were home and dry
You set a fire to keep me warm and safe
You'd never want to see me burned
Too many times I just get burned

But It got so complicated, I don’t know
Got hard to know which way to turn
Can't find the words no more to make you smile
Always waiting to get burned
Too many times I just get burned

I used to know just where I stood with you
Now I don’t know what’s in your mind
You cut the ground right out from under me
Always waiting to get burned
Too many times I just get burned

Hard to find the will to carry on
We’re walking on two different roads
No point in laying out my heart to you
Always waiting to get burned
Too many times I just get burned

CHORUS
I need more space so I can breathe
I need more time so I can turn
I need some quiet nights so I can sleep
Too many times I just get burned

Dunkle Gefühle

By Andrea Pflüger

Ein Partner betrügt den anderen. Dieser beginnt es zu ahnen und fühlt sich, als wenn ihm der Boden unter den Füßen weggezogen wird. Am Ende erkennt er trotz seiner Verzweiflung aber, dass eine Trennung auch zum eigenen Schutz unvermeidlich ist. Denn er weiß, dass er die Beziehung irgendwann verarbeitet hat und es nur besser werden kann.
