Melody:
Na na na na NA na Na na

Chorus
Could you keep me me by the fire
Like a holy ritual
This burning desire I got
To turn to ashes by the fire
My burning heart an soul
Are dry to the very core.

Verse 1
I didn't do anything for you
At the end of the day
It's so sad, so sad
I didn't do anything for you
I swear I'm sorry
I really meant to!

Chorus2
So could you keep me by the fire
Guilt all over my favorite shirt
Took you for granted like I always do
If you throw me in your hearth
The atleast the my shriveled soul
Will warm you until noon.

Verse 2
Watch me burn in side your hearth
If it pleasures you,
I'm willing to die for you
This ain't me asking for another chance
I don't want to hurt you ever again.

Chorus3
I'd rather burn up in the fire.
Got nothing to offer
I simply can't repay for your love
I know I'm saying sorry
But don't you forgive me
I don't deserve another shot.

Could you keep me me by the fire
Like a holy ritual
This burning desire I got
To turn to ashes by the fire
My burning heart an soul
Are dry to the very core.
