Burnt Out

(album: Y/N - 2021)

I have never felt as warm as I did when you touched me
Gave me goosebumps from head to toe
But a love made of matches was destined to burn out
And end up in ashes and smoke

Still, embers remained and I tried to reignite them
Ended up playing with fire again
You pushed me away and I fought and I stayed
But maybe I should have listened

Because you're right
I couldn't fix you
You're right
I shouldn't have tried to
Your pride is what you're concerned about
Is "you're right" really all you wanna hear right now?

Well you're right
I should have walked away faster
Should've known you'd only break my heart after
I was already in love
You're right, you aren't good enough

I kissed your scars even after you hurt me
And I held your hand even when you fucking burned me
Do you know how embarrassing that was?
To stay with somebody who hates you because

You hope things get better
You hope that love can
Turn a monster into a man

But it doesn't
And it won't
Because you're beyond repair
But there is still someone for me somewhere
Who will treat me so nice
You'll wish that you did
For someone so smart
You're so fucking stupid
To think that I'm really that dumb
I love you, but I'm done

Pretending this was gonna work
Pretending loving you didn't hurt
Pretending that it doesn't burn
When you think you're always right

'Cause you're still stuck on your past
You hate him so much but you're just like your dad
You smother every light that I ever had
By holding on too tight

And it's suffocating
And I'm longing to breathe again
And in the middle of it all
I ended up losing who I am

And I know that you tried
Gave it all that you had
And being a monster
Doesn't necessarily make you bad
But even if we could
Staple it back together now
We both know that you can't light a fire that's
Already burnt out
