Song lyrics Burning up by Eagle Eye Cherry

Would you believe me
If I said I´ve never lied
Though it ain´t easy
I can tell you I have tried
But I´ve gotta say
That it comes those days
That I´ve told something untrue
Would you´ll forgive me
If I said I´ve lied to you

This is my fear
To tell you what I´ve done
As things become 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 to do

How will you kill me
For what I´m about to tell
Please do it gently
Because 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

I´m burning up
I´m burning for you
When the truth has been spoken
There´s nothing to 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, you stay, that you´ll understand
