Front Porch Step - Burned Lyrics






Father I'm sorry I've hurt you
I'm sorry I've stumbled like this
This heart that still beats from the breath of your lips
Is a heart that'd kill you with a kiss
And I know that you still choose to love me
And it's something that I cannot earn
But I turned away and I ran toward the flames
What a wonderful way to get burned

What a wonderful way to get burned
You gave me it all, I threw it away
I played with the fire
What a wonderful way to get burned

I faked love with a tall glass of water
Wasn't long before she had her fill
'Cause she had enough of the lack of our love
And now she's going out for the kill
And you told me you'd love me forever
But Jesus, will you ever learn
That your place in my heart has been filled with such dark
You won't see me when you have returned

What a wonderful way to get burned
You gave me it all, I threw it away
I played with the fire
What a wonderful way to get burned
You gave me it all, I threw it away
I played with the fire
What a wonderful way
What a wonderful way
What a wonderful way

You brought air to my lungs and then I turned my back
You still loved me despite but I hated the fact
That I hated myself more than I ever loved
So the love that you had was just not good enough
And I miss you so much that it burns in my chest
Like the first cigarette that I smoked to impress
If I had known then what I've done to you now
I'd pour gas on myself with it lit in my mouth

What a wonderful way to get burned
You gave me it all, I threw it away
I played with the fire
What a wonderful way to get burned
You gave me it all, I threw it away
I played with the fire
What a wonderful way
What a wonderful way
What a wonderful way
To get burned

    Makes me wish artist like Jake would publicize an email they can access so people can just plow in all the comments everyone here has said so they can sit down and read how meaningful their music is and how thankful we are to have it

  5. R.... ....

    you can tell he's sorry for all the shit he's done and isn't afraid to admit it.

  6. W.... V....

    i like the new music and im glad you decided to continue to make more music, but im just not a fan of the other instruments (drums and such). it sounds good i just think its a notch below the other stuff youve put out

  7. P.... ....

    I love when you can hear someone's pain in their voice. You can hear that here. Great job

  8. S.... E....

    fuck the 308 people who dislike this.

    Before all the hate comments appear, I want you to know, Jake, that there are people out here that are happy that you are continuing your dreams to pursue music. We love you and keep making me feel lol.

    J.... C....

    Where are the haters? Like really, how can you dislike this? Even if it's not your style, it's not something you can say "I hate this" about, at least I don't think so. Anyone that feels that way about this guy's music has issues.

    J.... C....

    +Christian Thomas yeah I was thinking that, this isn't my style of music, I'm actually not even religious but the messages he sends, you can't just hate it

    J.... C....

    +Christian Thomas i just see negative comments on fb

    J.... C....

    Jordan Carner oh, I don't really use fb anymore, so I wouldn't know

  17. C.... W....

    Wow the bridge of this song really sends a message with such power that you don't see too often in music anymore! Jake, I found your music a few years ago and since the very first day, you have been in my top 3 favorite artists of all time. Your music means so much to me, from getting through breakups to finding faith in the one thing keeping you sane, it has even inspired me to write countless songs taking inspiration from your work. What can I say, your work is absolutely spectacular. Thank you for being such an important part of my life and for providing the soundtrack to my young adult life! Keep up the great work and never give up on yourself.

  18. T.... P....

    One of my faves! I love you Jake!! I will always support you!

  19. F.... Y....

    He gives me chills in every single song because all of his songs aren't just sung they're sung with such emotion it's incredible

  20. C.... B....

    One of your best works.

  21. T.... ....

    Love the hate/pain you transmit in those little bits :)

  22. S.... T....

    Jake.

    If only you knew what your music has done in my life. From helping me get through the worst of relationships to starting to write songs from the heart to the point where I actually got to tour with your homie Braden of SWCF. You are truly an inspiration my friend.

    keep it up my man.
