Would you believe me
  If I said I'd never lie
  Though it ain't easy
  I can tell you I have tried
  But I got to say
  That it comes those days
  That I told something untrue
  Would you forgive me
  If I said I'd lied to you
  
  This is my fear
  To tell you what I've done
  As things come 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 I can do
  Yes I'm burning up
  I'm burning for you
  When the truth has been spoken
  There's nothing I can do
  
  How will you kill me
  For what I'm about to tell
  Please do it gently
  'Cause 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
  Oh yes I've lied
  
  I'm burning up
  I'm burning for you
  When the truth has been spoken
  There's nothing I can do
  Yes I'm burning up
  I'm burning for you
  When the truth has been spoken
  There's nothing I can 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, please stay, that you'll understand
  
  I'm burning up
  I'm burning for you
  When the truth has been spoken
  There's nothing I can do
  Yes I'm burning up
  I'm burning for you
  When the truth has been spoken
  There's nothing I can do
  
  I'm burning up...
