Bad is better than the burn, some people never learn Bad is better than the burn I'll take the blame, it's my mistake One heart goes free, one heart just aches It's an easy kill within my range I made the break honey you kept the pain And yesterday means nothin' to me now - doesn't matter I'll keep it hid, you'll live somehow Chorus: Bad is better than the burn, truth is better than a lie Some people never learn, bad is better than the burn I fished love's kiss from the wishing well Wound up in heaven, stayed around for hell It's a common crime to live this lie I see no point after love has died I'll be the one who said goodbye And I'll take the heat for the tears you cry Chorus Bad is better than the burn, or the hurt that's hidden in the heart They say you pay with what you earn, bad is better than the burn Cold is the shoulder that turns away, curses the man on judgement day Damned by the brand, done too soon Crawled out of this house and howled at the moon (Solo) And yesterday means nothin' to me now I'll keep it hid, you'll live somehow Chorus repeats out...
