lyrics

How could I have known
How could I have realised the outcome?
Running from my hands
Looking for a way out of that hell

There were no cars out on the forest road
There were no shadows hiding in the trees

So how could I have known
You’d leave me this way
Wrapped up in rags
Discarded and frayed
You tried to explain but his hands got in the way

Now it Burns, It burns

How could I have known
How could I have realised the outcome?
Running from my hands
Looking for a way out of that hell

There were no fires burning on the mountain-side
There were no strangers hiding in the night

So how could I have known
You’d leave me this way
Wrapped up in rags
Discarded and frayed
You tried to explain but his hands got in the way

Now it Burns, It burns

He stripped your body raw
It cut my heart in two
Where are you now?
