Burned Out lyrics

He was certain

So was I

There was comfort

In her sighs

Dreams and ideas should not be the same thing

You waited smiling for this

Oh she’d want it

If she knew

She could take it,

I thought too

Be careful be cautious but you just wished harder

You waited smiling for this

“But they love you!” over and over “they love you!”

Thousands and thousands of

Eyes just like mine

Aching to find

Who they are

And they love you! oh you can feel how they love you!

Coated and warm but that’s

All they can do

Words only get through

If they’re sharp

Oh how fitting

For one so fake

Make me a fairy

Whatever it takes

And just like her tale my dream was a scam

Oh you waited smiling for this

I am burnt out

I smell of smoke

It seeps through her cracks and so I start to choke

Sentences sit in her mouth that are templated

You waited smiling for this

“But they love you!” over and over “they love you!”

Thousands and thousands of

Eyes just like mine

Aching to find

Who they are

And they love you! oh you can feel how they love you!

Coated and warm but that’s

All they can do

Words only get through

If they’re sharp

I can just talk about it

Maybe I'll talk about it

I'll never talk about it

I cannot talk about it

Don't build hope on something broken

I am not cartoon

Cry for help

I am not joking

I might just leave soon.
