Verse1
When you can walk through the fire
and not get burned
how does it feel
when you chase all your desires
just to get your fill
of what you want
when you chase down the storm
chasing away all your fears
how does it feel
Verse2
I've felt the loneliness before
then I got up
and walked out the door
vowed to never be back again
yet here I stand
with my gutar in my hands
playing this song for you
a million emotions running
through my head
my heart and soul
from me to you
Bridge
I'm never gonna back down now
I'm never gonna give up now
I'm gonna get up off the ground
I'm gonna stand proud
and shout it out loud
Chorus
I'm not Burnin' Down
anymore
I just gotta get out
the front door
I'm not gonna stay here in this mess
that you put me in
girl it's like a sin
I'm not Burnin' Down
anymore
I'm not Burnin' Down
anymore
not for you
anymore
Verse3
I fed that beast too long
now I'm out on my own
had to walk away
from your toxic disgrace
I'm not gonna run
your rat race
no not for you
anymore
no not for you
anymore
(solo)
Verse4
Girl you got to understand
I'm not gonna let you make me
be that kind of man
I'll leave you high and dry
I'll find another girl
to make all mine
one who will love me
the rest of my life
Repeat Bridge and Chorus
