Shit Dude

So as some of you know, I've had a huge thing for Ray LaMontagne for the last several months. His voice, his music, his lyrics, him. You know how it is. In any case, Burn is one of my favorite tunes off of his Trouble album. The lyrics make me want to cry. Here they are on screen - much less emotionally dark and painful as when heard live.

Burn

Oh mama don't walk away
I'm a goddam sore loser, I ain't too proud to stay
But I'm still thinking 'bout you
And I'm so lonesome without you
And I can't get you out of my mind

Oh mama don't leave me alone
with my soul sat down so tight, it's like a stone cold tomb
Ain't it clear when I'm near you
I'm just dying to hear you
Calling my name one more time

Oh so don't pay no mind
To my watering eyes
Must be something in the air
That I'm breathing
Yes'n I try to ignore
All this blood on the floor
It's just this heart on my sleeve that's a bleeding

Oh mama don't walk away
You leave me here bereaving from the words so hard and plain
Saying the love that we had was just selfish and sad
To see you now with him is just making me mad

Oh so kiss him again
just to prove to me that you can
And I will stand here and burn in my skin
Yes I will stand here and burn in my skin
