Burned out

Verse 1

Five a.m. is creeping closer

After one hell of a working day

The house is quiet, too damn empty

Got nothing left to say

I’m sitting here at the kitchen table

Just me and the ticking clock

Staring down an empty bottle

Wondering how my heart still knocks

Pre-Chorus

Every shadow knows your name

Every silence screams the same

Chorus

The fire’s burned out, turned to stone

But my heart’s still all in flames

I replay our best memories

Like a song stuck on the same refrain

Every day it gets a little heavier

Still I leave the door unlocked

Hoping tonight you’ll walk back in

Yeah, hoping you won’t stop

Verse 2

That whiskey bottle’s judging me

Like it knows just what I lost

Your laugh still hangs in the hallway

At a price I’d pay at any cost

The walls remember every moment

Every promise, every fight

I’d trade tomorrow for one second

Of you walking in tonight

Chorus

The fire’s burned out, turned to stone

But my heart’s still all in flames

I replay our best memories

Like a song stuck on the same refrain

Every day it gets a little heavier

Still I leave the door unlocked

Hoping tonight you’ll walk back in

Yeah, hoping you won’t stop

Bridge

I tell myself I’ll move on

But hope don’t listen well

Love’s a slow-burning cigarette

And I’m stuck under its spell

Final Chorus

The fire’s burned out, turned to stone

But my heart’s still all in flames

If loving you’s a losing game

I’ll lose it all the same

Every day it gets a little heavier

Still I listen for your knock

Till the day you walk back in

Or my heart finally stops
