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...
