歌曲名 Burning Herself

歌手名 Harry Chapin

She was crazy

She was beautiful

I guess she had to be

And I was angry

You were blind

Because I could not see

Except for what her cigarettes

Had done to her skin

I should have known the outside world

Would reveal what was within

But she was burning herself

And her hair was filled with ashes

She was burning herself

And her life became a flame

She was burning herself

And the flame became her passion

She was burning herself

And her passion her passion was her pain

She was trusting

You could have saved her too

All hope had passed for her

And I was lusting

And she gave to you

That's all I asked for her

The marks upon her body

And the marks upon her mind

I knew I could have erased them

If I'd only taken the time

But she was burning herself

And her hair was filled with ashes

She was burning herself

And her life became a flame

She was burning herself

And the flame became her passion

She was burning herself

And her passion her passion was her pain

I never saw her do it

I only saw the scars

I never could imagine

What could make her go that far

I wondered was she driven

By a desperate need to feel

To find out she was really living

To discover that her life was real

Or was it that the pain

Slicing through her like a knife

Was easier to take

Than the emptiness of life

Had a strange sense of drama

Caught her inside a role

Or was she trying to cauterize

The changes on her sole

I don't know I don't know

I don't know her passion was her pain
