Nick Barker - Chinese Burn Lyrics

Leave it in the arms of somebody who knows you well

Who knows the good and bad which points to lose and which to sell

Don't meet me in the middle of the day, make it late afternoon

Cause I've always gotta smile on my face when the sun hits the moon



But how you gonna get a rope around it how you gonna hold it tight

How you gonna make it last through all these long and stormy nights

I ain't worried about the pain just the scar it's gonna leave

I ain't worried about the pain just the scar it's gonna leave



The wet cement of sentiment is sticking your shoes to the floor

Sure as Monday follows Sunday you're gonna wish you tried a little more

So meet me somewhere quiet somewhere where nobody knows you well

We can medicate ourselves till mercy rings the final bell



But how you gonna get a rope around it how you gonna hold it tight

How you gonna make it last through all these long and lonely nights

And I ain't worried about the pain just the scar it's gonna leave

I ain't worried about the pain just the scar it's gonna leave



It could have been the lighting

The way it hit my face

You took to mean that things won't ever be the same

They'll never be the same



How you gonna get a rope around it, how you gonna make it tie?

How you gonna hold it fast through all these long and stormy nights?

And I ain't worried about the pain, just the scar it's gonna leave





I ain't worried about the pain

I ain't worried about the pain

No I ain't worried about the pain

Just the scar it's gonna leave.
