‘Burnt Out’ is the second single from my debut EP – ‘Left’.
This was actually one of the first songs I wrote after I moved to London – and it’s possibly my favourite. It’s about how moving here can change people – they can become ‘burnt out’, either financially or physically – or perhaps their rela...
[Verse 1]
You could run to me
Like you know you should
But you never will
I dress up for you
Made a change or two
You don’t love me still
I got sick on you
I got sick of you
Rub that salt in deep
I never been depressed
And then summer passed
And it got to me
[Bridge]
Ooh wow, look at us now
Looking for the next door out
We’ve been here for seven years
(Just think about it)
You go underground
I go over and up and out
Hiding from you endlessly
[Pre-Chorus]
You can see it
So why don’t we do something?
I’m wasting away to nothing
Take a good look at me
You’ll see how much I’ve changed
[Chorus]
Burnt out, like a car
I’m surprised we made it this far
We should really get it together
We can’t because
We’re burnt out, like a star
Dragging me back to you and my heart aches
Nothings gonna stop this from ending
[Verse 2]
You used to run to me
Like you know you should
But you never will
Every mistake we make
We let our hearts just break
And carry on like this
[Bridge]
Ooh wow, look at us now
Looking for the next door out
Is there any point in this?
(Just think about it)
You go underground
I go over and up and out
Hiding from you endlessly
[Pre-Chorus]
You can see it
So why don’t we do something?
I’m wasting away to nothing, nothing, nothing
Take a good look at me
You’ll see how much I’ve changed
[Chorus]
Burnt out, like a car
I’m surprised we made it this far
We should really get it together
We can’t because
We’re burnt out, like a star
Dragging me back to you and my heart aches
Nothings gonna stop this from ending
Nothing because
We’re burnt out, like a car
I’m surprised we made it this far
We should really get it together
We can’t because
We’re burnt out, like a star
Dragging me back to you and my heart aches
Nothings gonna stop this from ending
[Outro]
Why can’t you see it?
Why can’t you see it too?
Why can’t you see it? Oh
Why can’t you see it too?
Why can’t you see it
Why can’t you see it too?
(We should really get it together)
Why can’t you see it? Oh
Why can’t you see it too?
