Burning Old Stories Lyrics
With hardened hands
Make a fist
And take down the wall
With one desperate hit
You're building and shaping
The hate that you feel
You're scratching out memories
You're burning old stories
Twenty-one years
Of Bearing the cross
Six Months away
A mother has lost
The youngest of three
Ungrateful
Unworthy
Of any
Pride
It's not what you love
It's just what you like
Give up this act
Give it a rest
It's time to come home
It's time to move back
Cause I know you're not waiting on me
I hope you don't think that I'm letting go
So I look at myself and ask
What good could come from this show
I can't say of any at all on its own
From here on out there's no point in dwelling on
The fact that you had put these conditions on
A Love
We had both given up
Twenty-one years
Of Bearing the cross
Six Months away
A mother has lost
The youngest of three
Ungrateful
Unworthy
Of any
Pride
It's not what you love
It's just what you like
Give up this act
Give it a rest
It's time to come home
It's time to move back
Cause I know you're not waiting on me
I hope you don't think that I'm letting go
So I look at myself and ask
What good could come from this show
I can't say of any at all on its own
From here on out there's no point in dwelling on
The fact that you had put these conditions on
A Love
We had both given up
.......
And i live to regret
......
And you're trying your best
.....
From here on out there's no point in dwelling on
The fact that you had put these conditions on
A Love
We had both given up
From here on out there's no point in dwelling on
The fact that you had put these conditions on
A Love
That we had both given up
Make a fist
And take down the wall
With one desperate hit
You're building and shaping
The hate that you feel
You're scratching out memories
You're burning old stories
Of Bearing the cross
Six Months away
A mother has lost
The youngest of three
Ungrateful
Unworthy
Of any
It's not what you love
It's just what you like
Give up this act
Give it a rest
It's time to come home
It's time to move back
I hope you don't think that I'm letting go
So I look at myself and ask
What good could come from this show
I can't say of any at all on its own
The fact that you had put these conditions on

The fact that you had put these conditions on
A Love
We had both given up
The fact that you had put these conditions on
A Love
That we had both given up
