Burnout

Julia Finnegan: "Cause that's the other thing too like, you're wasting all this energy on Somebody that doesn't deserve it" Faded in a suburb at night I thought of you Walking me home late, saying you won't stay like it's not fair Said I didn't need a ride, I waited for you Down the block. Just so you could talk like I'm not there I would have lied for you Cut to black. Roll the credits on me You're Aristotle at the end of a bottle - but you say nothing now Don't look back leave the secrets to me Now that you're leaving you call it even, all the salt on my brow And I would have died for you I would have died Pick up all the pieces just to watch me fall apart Stay for all the reasons that should have sounded the alarm bells Played the game like I could earn it, broke my heart like I deserved it Didn't work out. You burned brightest in my burnout Call it lesson learned when you lose someone But you still burn like a cheap shot to my tongue Lit up like a shadow just to watch me fade away Paint yourself a picture of a time that wasn't grey I played the game like I could earn it. You broke my heart like I deserved it Didn't work out. You burned brightest in my burnout You burned brightest in my burnout Hold on tightly (You burned brightest in my burnout) Let go lightly (You burned brightest in my burnout) Hold on tightly (You burned brightest in my burnout) Let go lightly (You burned brightest-) And I would have died for you I could have died
