Burnt Out

I've never felt this warm as I did
When you touched me, gave me
Goosebumps from head to toe
But a love made of matches
Was destined to burn out
And end up in ashes and smoke

Still ambers remained
And I tried to re-ignite them
Ended up playing with fire again
You pushed me away
And I fought and I stayed
But maybe I should have listened

Because you're right, I couldn't fix you
You're right, I shouldn't have tried to

Your pride, is what you're concerned about?
Is "you're right" really all you wanna hear right now?
Well, you're right, I should've walked away faster
I should've known
You'd only break my heart after I was already in love
You're right, you aren't good enough

I kissed your scars even after you hurt me
And I held your hand even when you fucking burned me
Do you know how embarrassing that was?
To stay with sombody who hates you because
You hope things get better
You hope that love can
Turn a monster into a man
But it doesn't and it won't
Because you're beyond repair

But there are still someone for me somewhere
Who will treat me so nice, you'll wish that you did
For someone so smart, you're so fucking stupid
To think that I'm really that dumb
I love you, but I'm done

Pretending this was gonna work
Pretending loving you didn't hurt
Pretending that it doesn't burn
When you think you're always right

'Cause you're still stuck on your past
You hate 'em so much but
You're just like your dad
You smothered every right that I've ever had
By holding on too tight

And it's suffocating
And I'm longing to breathe again
And in the middle of it all
I ended up losing who I am

And I know that you tried
Gave it all that you had
And being a monster
Doesn't necessarily make you bad

But even if we could stable it back together now
We both know that you can't
Light a fire that's already burnt out
