The summer sun it burns my skin and leaves it raw
Yet somehow the burns you inflected hurt me so much more
They have left me so tender, in agony and pain
And nothing seems to soothe it or helps it go away
But I know I have to grin and bear it and focus on just trying to heal
I know this raw burnt feeling at least proves that I am real
And that if remain strong and true to myself
In time not being with you is better for my mental health
Because you burnt me so
And deep down I know
If you did that once who’s to say
You will not do that again.
