dodie - 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
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

Maybe I'll talk about it
I can just 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.

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

Maybe I'll talk about it
I can just 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.
