[Lyrics]
Been burned and with both feet on the ground,
I've learned that it's painful comin' down.
No use runnin' away, and there's no time left to stay.
Now I'm finding out that it's so confusin',
No time left and I know I'm losin'.
 
Flashed and I think I'm fallin' down,
Crashed, and my ears can't hear a sound.
No use runnin' away, and there's no time left to stay.
Now I'm finding out that it's so confusin',
No time left and I know I'm losin'.
 
Now I'm finding out that it's so confusin',
No time left and I know I'm losin'.
 
Burned and with both feet on the ground.
I've learned that it's painful comin' down.
No use runnin' away, and there's no time left to stay.
Now I'm finding out that it's so confusin',
No time left and I know I'm losin'.
