Burn Me Again
Alpha Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Burn me again
Turn me round and you can burn me again
Learn in the end
Say it slowly so i’ll learn in the end
Bury the pain
Hurt me softly and then bury the pain
Soften the rain
Feel this storm inside me soften the rain
Nurture me with hope
Help me grow from your seed
Feed me with your strength
Fill me up with your need
Heaven and hell
Keep me safe between this heaven and hell
Know me too well
You’ve hardly touched me yet you know me too well
Treat me with a kiss
Heal this aching inside
All the years i’ve lived yet you bring me to life, to life
Burn me again
Turn me round and you can burn me again
Soften the rain
Feel this storm inside me soften the rain




Burn me again
Burn me again
