Well begin me now, And don't expect me to complicate you I don't see how I could've ever let you down She thinks twice Rotting under dripping eyes You need to let her down Wrinkled by her perspiration
And the guilt weighs down In between the pinched skin And everything works out And I've become a clown She's moving south Living where it's easier But she never meant to hate me so much Never meant to be a scene change
But she's burning out again And she's burning out again She's burning out again
She drinks her alcohol like chloroform To evaporate her head Into the ground she sinks too low Forgot to wash out the clorox and it shows I played the part too well And I swear that I'm a liar now She's become a star And I've become the metaphor
She's burning out again She's burning out again She's burning out again She's burning out Burning out Burning out Burning out
