Burned Out - Dodie

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

«Oh, 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

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

«Oh, 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, maybe I’ll talk about it (Maybe I’ll talk about it)

I can just talk about it (I can just talk about it)

I’ll never talk about it (I'll never talk about it)

No, 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

Don’t build hope on something broken

I am not cartoon

Cry for help, I am not joking

I might just leave soon
