Play the game of indecision, come what may
She knows it isn't just his voice on the line
One final time she hears thunder
Precious lies when she played her part
Still she tries because hope dies hard

With broken wings
She can feel the sting like a backhand over the telephone
In her eyes, shimmers twilight
Drivin' hard, it gives up the fight
And she fights it back
Knowing that the dam could break wide open

Burning down inside, nobody wants to be lonely
Burning down inside, the harder they come, the harder she falls

To her face, I show my arm, I walk away, before I do more harm
And with the damage done, she won't know where to run or who to run to

Burning down inside, nobody wants to be lonely
Burning down inside, the harder they come, the harder she falls

Turnin' like a spinning wheel, dancin' on her head
Tries so hard to walk away, she falls in love instead

My head says, we should always go our own ways, never get too close
When she can hear my heart, if she comes apart, I'll be waiting

Burning down inside, nobody wants to be lonely
Burning down inside, the harder they come, the harder she falls
Burning down inside, nobody wants to be lonely
Burning down inside, the harder they come, the harder she falls

Burning down inside, the harder she falls, burning down inside
Burning down inside, the harder they come, the harder she falls
Burning down inside, burning down inside
Burning down inside, the harder they come, the harder she falls
