Burn So Bright

from Americayana by Aaron Rester

lyrics

I know I told you to go
But I really wanted you to stay
Stupid to make you prove what I already knew
You love me enough to go away

Daddy was a rich man in a poor town
Mama taught me everything I know
I left them all behind so many years ago
To follow you out on the road

You were so beautiful back then
Like an angel who had lost his wings
And when you held me close there was no such thing
As original sin

Our love used to burn so bright,
Now it just burns

I never complained about my lot in life
But I got something to confess
It was never easy being your wife
Best intentions make an awful mess

On that day I picked a fight
Another hint you never heard
I yelled at you to leave, I was feeling the wine
You left without saying a word

When that man came to the door
Selling his bibles and knives
I wasn't myself, he could have been anyone else
I let him take me for a drive

Our love used to burn so bright,
Now it just burns

It was already light when I came home
With a scar I'd never show
You turned around when you heard the sound
Your eyes were smoldering like coals
