  • The only one I know, has come to take me away
    The only one I know, is mine when she stitches me

    The only one I see, has found an aching in me
    The only one I see, has turned her tongue into me

    Everyone has been burned before, everybody knows the pain
    Everyone has been burned before, everybody knows the pain

    The only one I know, never cries, never opens her eyes
    The only one I know, wide awake and then she's away

    The only one I see, is mine when she walks down our street
    The only one I see, has carved her way in to me

    Everyone has been burned before, everybody knows the pain
    Everyone has been burned before, everybody knows the pain

    Everyone has been burned before, everybody knows the pain
    Everyone has been burned before, everybody knows the pain Writer/s: Jon Baker, Jon Brookes, Martin Victor Blunt, Robert James Collins, Timothy Burgess
