Backburner Lyrics

Backburner

Verse

I’ve been thinking about it lately

And the thing that we have

Was kinda hoping that you’d save me

But then what’s the use in that, no no

Verse

Would it be wrong to say it’s deeper -

like when two stars align, then collide?

I see inside the eyes of strangers

It’s like we’re living a lie

Bridge

Oh I’m so selfish just to think that you would leave him

But if you stay, well hell - then why you still here teasing?

Chorus

But you know it’s cool - it’s fine

I’m just gonna leave it on the backburner

Oh you know it’s simple - this time yeah

Oh, I’m just gonna leave it on the back - on the backburner

Verse

There was an altercation last night

Six shots, nine ball, four-am

I heard you crying in the bathroom light

You couldn’t quite get my attention

Bridge

Oh I was careless just to think that we would run away

But you can’t stay mad and then say sorry every other day?

Chorus

So you know it’s cool

It’s fine

I’m just gonna leave it on the backburner

Oh you know it’s simple

This time yeah

I’m just gonna leave it on the backburner

Oh but you know it’s cool

Don’t cry yeah

I’m just gonna leave you on the backburner

Oh you know it’s simple

This time yeah

I’m just gonna leave you on the backburner

Solo

Chorus (outro)
