Story Behind The Song
It's written for a friend. I saw him agonizing over being left. He couldn't find a reason and couldn't seem to get over it. I thought "Man, he's burning up with this problem" and the title came to me. Sometimes they come fast. This song was written in about five minutes. Nice.

Lyrics
"Burn"
Sean McMann
One more day on the calander...
"X" it away
29 Days since you left me standin...
Walked away
Reason you gave leaves a wrinkle in my brow
Reason you gave just leaves me asking myself "how?"
Chorus
'Cuz I don't mind feelin stupid
But I don't like feelin played
Oh so, Oh so, Oh so played
And the tears I cry may never dry for me
Didn't learn that lesson I should have learned
Now...I...burn
Thought I did but I didn't know
What motivates
Somethin so beautiful to...
Waste away
I wear it out and analyze
Like some forensic sleuth
You sang your song
You said "It's wrong!"
But I'm still digging for proof
Repeat Chorus
'Cuz I don't mind feelin stupid
But I don't like feelin played
Oh so, Oh so, Oh so played
And the tears I cry may never dry for me
Didn't learn that lesson I should have learned
Now...I...burn
Bridge
No way...
No way...
You can label this "wrong"
All the tingle? All the heat?
Written like a perfect song
Am I missing something?
Am I paranoid?
It seems like this part
Is the part that you enjoy
Repeat Chorus
And I don't mind feelin stupid
But I don't like feelin played
Oh so, Oh so, Oh so played
And the tears I cry may never dry for me
Didn't learn that lesson I should have learned
Now...I...burn
