Burnout Lyrics
[Intro]
I want free, I want changed
I want it written on my grave
And no the stone's not gonna read "liar that died living in his cage"
[Verse 1]
I'm sick of being angry at all the wrong things
Keeping my head down to get through another day
How much time have I spent yelling at people that don't exist?
I'm sick of being hopeless at all the wrong times
Living a letdown, living a lie
I can't be wrong, not this time
[Chorus]
I just wanna live free
They won't get the best of me
(Live free) I don't need your sympathy
You may spark the flame
But these scars will not remain
You'll never burn me out
[Verse 2]
It's really getting old writing negative songs
Beating myself up to get another word out
How much time have I lost yelling
About all the pain I feel
There's gotta be an answer gotta be a fix
Find the pieces, take the risk
I won't go down not like this
I want free, I want changed
I want it written on my grave
And no the stone's not gonna read "liar that died living in his cage"
[Verse 1]
I'm sick of being angry at all the wrong things
Keeping my head down to get through another day
How much time have I spent yelling at people that don't exist?
I'm sick of being hopeless at all the wrong times
Living a letdown, living a lie
I can't be wrong, not this time
[Chorus]
I just wanna live free
They won't get the best of me
(Live free) I don't need your sympathy
You may spark the flame
But these scars will not remain
You'll never burn me out
[Verse 2]
It's really getting old writing negative songs
Beating myself up to get another word out
How much time have I lost yelling
About all the pain I feel
There's gotta be an answer gotta be a fix
Find the pieces, take the risk
I won't go down not like this
[Chorus]
I just wanna live free
They won't get the best of me
(Live free) I don't need your sympathy
You may spark the flame
But these scars will not remain
You'll never burn me out
[Breakdown]
You'll never burn me out
[Outro]
(Live free) They won't get the best of me
(Live free) I don't need your sympathy
(Live free) They won't get the best of me
(Live free) I don't need your sympathy
You may spark the flame
But these scars will not remain
You'll never burn me out
You'll never burn me
I just wanna live free
They won't get the best of me
(Live free) I don't need your sympathy
You may spark the flame
But these scars will not remain
You'll never burn me out
[Breakdown]
You'll never burn me out
[Outro]
(Live free) They won't get the best of me
(Live free) I don't need your sympathy
(Live free) They won't get the best of me
(Live free) I don't need your sympathy
You may spark the flame
But these scars will not remain
You'll never burn me out
You'll never burn me
