Would you believe me

If i said i'd never lie

Though it ain't easy

I can tell you i have tried

But i got to say

That it comes those days

That i told something untrue

Would you forgive me

If i said i'd lied to you



This is my fear

To tell you what i've done

As things come clear

I'm afraid that you'll be gone

But all i know

Is if you go

At least i've told what's true

Hope you'll forgive me

When i say i've lied to you



I'm burning up

I'm burning for you

When the truth has been spoken

There's nothing i can do

Yes i'm burning up

I'm burning for you

When the truth has been spoken

There's nothing i can do



How will you kill me

For what i'm about to tell

Please do it gently

'cause you know i'm bound for hell

All i know is

I've lost my soul

I'm burning inside

Hope you'll forgive me

Yes i have lied

Oh yes i've lied



I'm burning up

I'm burning for you

When the truth has been spoken

There's nothing i can do

Yes i'm burning up

I'm burning for you

When the truth has been spoken

There's nothing i can do



Now you know that i've gone

And i've been untrue to you

And once it's told

Well you know there's nothing we can do

I regret that i let this get so out of hand

I pray, please stay, that you'll understand



I'm burning up

I'm burning for you

When the truth has been spoken

There's nothing i can do

Yes i'm burning up

I'm burning for you

When the truth has been spoken

There's nothing i can do



I'm burning up...
