Burnt Out

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Going through the motions like in an underselling play Where you've memorized the lines but you've forgotten what you wanna say Yeah there's still applause but the meaning of it all just seems to fade The fire in your chest burnt out maybe half a year ago But you're too afraid to let anyone down so You say you still smell smoke and yeah you live the dream But you've atrophied cause you've been asleep so long [Chorus] Cause the tinder doesn't catch the way it used to And the embers are all smothered by the rain And although you would give anything to feel the searing warmth of an old flame You've changed [Verse 2] Drowning in an ocean you got stranded in yourself When you couldn't see how many things you piled on the shelf And yeah you're still afloat but you don't know toward what shoreline you should row [Chorus] Cause the tinder doesn't catch the way it used to And the embers are all smothered by the rain And although you would give anything to feel the searing warmth of an old flame You've changed [Bridge] Strike the match and watch it die Nothing burns behind your eyes Hold your head over that ghost of flame And now you're to blame [Chorus] Cause the tinder doesn't catch the way it used to And the embers are all smothered by the rain And although you would give anything to feel the searing warmth of an old flame You've changed Cause the tinder doesn't catch the way it used to And the embers are all smothered by the rain And although you would give anything to feel the searing warmth of an old flame You've changed (You've changed, You've changed, You've changed) You've changed (You've changed, You've changed, You've changed) Cause the tinder doesn't catch the way it used to
