Burnt Lyrics


When he called her name, they could go anywhere
(Then he went somewhere alone)
Then he changed his voice, to a more serious tone
(She's alone, he's alone)
So she goes somewhere else, as well, and she gets herself involved, with someone else
(Can you tell where this is going?)

Wanna help them out? Then hear them out

[Chorus:]
Got Burnt, third degrees
Never learnt my lesson
But forgive me please
Nothing lasts forever and nothing is free
Please remember to let me down gently

There are people
Climbing over walls
(Just to see how she is feeling)

And they know
They know it's worth the sweat
(When they see what she is doing)

If you hear her shout, then please look up

[Chorus x3]

Burnt
  • Frontman Barry Hyde explained the song's meaning to Uncut magazine: "It's basically about relationships - how we constantly prove that we have no control over love or passion, and we never, ever learn from our mistakes. We'll gladly plummet straight back into a relationship, or make promises to people we can't keep. It's constant, and constantly repeated - the thrill of the chase, the possibility that this person might be the one. I wouldn't say it was cynical. Its probably representative of my relationships in general!" (thanks, DeeTheWriter - Saint Petersburg, Russia Federation)
