Burned Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You tell me that I'm crazy
Doin' this alone
You don't need to save me
Oh, how I have grown


[Pre-Chorus]
I am capable of everything you can see
But now I want to change

[Chorus]
Just blow out the candles
Oh, little boy, when will you learn?
You don't play with fire
Unless you wanna get burned, wanna get burned

Just blow out the candles
Oh, how the tables, they've turned
You don't play with fire
Unless you wanna get burned, you wanna get burned
(Wanna get burned, wanna, wanna get burned)

[Verse 2]
Something's just so crazy
Things you'll never know
There is always that word, "Maybe"
That keeps stringing you along

[Pre-Chorus]
Hmm, 'cause I am capable of everything you can see
But now I want to change

[Chorus]
Just blow out the candles
Oh, little boy, when will you learn?
You don't play with fire
Unless you wanna get burned, wanna get burned

Blow out the candles
Oh, how the tables, they've turned
You don't play with fire
Unless you wanna get burned, wanna get burned

[Bridge]
What is that, that I see
Floating right in front of me?
Lock the door, try to leave
But now it's clear to me

[Chorus]
You didn't blow out the candles
Oh, little boy, you never learn
You don't play with fire
But you're already burned, you're already burned

Blow out the candles
Oh, little boy, you've never learned
You don't play with fire
But you're already burned, you're already burned
[Outro]
Wanna get burned, wanna, wanna get burned
Wanna get burned, wanna, wanna get burned
Wanna get burned, wanna, wanna get burned
(Get burned, get burned, get burned, get burned)
(Get burned, get burned, get burned, get burned)
(Get burned, get burned, get burned, get burned)

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
