Keep my dreams in a papercup, hold on to my faith
why did they pretend not to see

buried deep inside my heart in many different ways
i can't tell you what they did to me

see that look in the teacher's eyes, look into his heart
can you see the dark stains all around

eyes wide open in the night, i will play my part
there is no escape, i am bound

oho oho oh
my heart is burning
my heart is burning day an night
my heart is burning
oho oho oh
my heart is still burning through all these years
through all these tears

keep my dreams in a papercup, hold on to my faith
when the world moves on, what will be?
will the broken hearted ones somehow find their way?
i can't tell you what they did to me

oho oho oh
my heart is burning
my heart is burning day an night
my heart is burning
oho oho oh
my heart is still burning through all these years
through all these tears
