This heart can't handle too much pain.
She's flying ever closer to the flame.
She shouldn't, but she does what she does just the same.
Wash it off and scrub the stain.
I can live with it but I'm not insane.
I know I'll live longer if I live plain.
And if I feel cheated out of a righteous anger,
I'll look in myself and try to understand her.
Let it go.
