If there's anything I've learned
from being burned
Those feelings of hope are very real
so the feelings of reason are concealed
and you're back in the hole
you just climed out
Let me tell you,
I know what I'm talking about
If there's anything I've learned
from being burned
If there's anything I can teach you
so that reality may reach you
Don't become soft; don't fall for love or
become so transparent you're easy to see
through
Because pain is required for all things earned
If there's anything I've learned
from being burned
Let me tell you,
I know what I'm talking about
