[Intro]
Can you take the click off, please?
Thank you
Mm-mm-mm, mm
[Verse 1]
Little girl doin' all she can
You had your eye on only a few things
And maybe it wouldn't go anywhere
Had to be real with your dream
No silent movie and no puppet strings
Can't hold you up, you got to hold yourself now
Don't mean it's showtime for everything
You never listen, no
There she goes, there she goes
[Chorus]
You burn like you never burn out
You try so hard, you can still fall down
You keep it all in, but you don't let it out
You try so hard, don't you know you've burnt out?
Let it go in, over my lungs
The firе's always there, no one needs to gеt hurt
You let yourself burn, you burn yourself out
There she goes, she is fallin' down
[Verse 2]
No one could ever even sell her dreams
She put in work for the money, they can't buy those dreams
And they'll always be there if you don't make a thing
No one lost, no one's won, you tried your everything
[Chorus]
You burn like you never burn out
You try so hard, you can still fall down
You keep it all in, but don't let it all out
You try so hard, don't you know you've burnt out?
Let it go in, over my lungs
The fire's always there, no one needs to get hurt
You let yourself burn, you burn yourself out
There she goes, she is fallin' down
[Bridge]
I hope your daughter comes home
She's worked hard knowin' there's always a home
I hope your daughter comes home
She worked real hard knowin' there's always a home
Burn
Said, burn
Mm-mm-mm
[Chorus]
You burn like you never burn out
Try so hard, you can still fall down
You keep it all in, but you don't let it out
You try so hard, don't you know you've burnt out?
You let it go in, over my lungs
The fire's always there, no one needs to get hurt
You let yourself burn, you burn yourself out
There you go, she is fallin' down, down
[Outro]
She's fallin' down, down, down, down
She is fallin' down, down, down, down
She is fallin' down, down, down
There she goes, she is fallin' down
