Burned

[Intro] I thought I knew what I was doing I didn’t [Part 1] You looked like someone safe to trust Like something real, not built on dust I didn’t stop, I didn’t wait I walked right in and called it fate You said the words I needed first Nothing felt off, nothing rehearsed I let my guard fall into place I let you get that close to me [Transition] I didn’t think, I didn’t slow I let it all just start to grow [Part 2] It changed without a warning sign No single point, no clear divide Just something shifting in your tone Like I was there, but still alone I started doubting what I said Replaying everything instead Trying to fix what I could feel But nothing there was ever real [Hook] I got burned Didn’t see it coming I got burned Thought it meant something [Part 3] I stayed too long, I held it tight Tried turning wrong into something right Kept thinking it would turn around But every step just pulled me down It never came back to the start Just drifted off and fell apart And I kept holding what remained While losing more of it each day [Hook] I got burned And I let it happen I got burned Now I see the pattern [Break] It wasn’t what I thought it was I just didn’t want to see it [Part 4] I don’t reach out the way I did I don’t move fast, I don’t give in I take my time, I let things show I don’t believe what I don’t know I’ve seen the way it plays out wrong I’ve held onto it far too long When something feels too good to start It leaves you with a burned-out heart [Hook] I got burned And I know it now I got burned I won’t go back [Outro] I should’ve seen it I didn’t
