Burn Lyrics

Not busy
Got time
Got compliments with every line
Got more
Got less
I've got the real thing pain can't protect

So don't talk the talk when you don't believe,
Don't give me oil, I need gasoline
baby, wanna burn with me?
Don't cry a tear when you can't complete,
Don't talk of life's little miseries
Baby, just burn

Got silence
Got noise
Got resolution in my voice
Got heart
Got gold
Got the combintation to my soul

So don't talk the talk when you don't believe,
Don't give me oil, I need gasoline
Baby, wanna burn with me?
Don't cry a tear when you can't complete,
Don't talk of life's little miseries
Baby, just burn with me
Don't talk the shit when you don't believe,
Don't give me oil, I need gasoline
Baby, wanna burn with me?
Don't cry a tear when you can't complete,
Don't talk of life's little miseries,
Baby, just burn

Not busy
Got time 
Got compliments with every line
Got more
Got less
I've got the real thing pain can't protect

Got silence
Got noise
Got resolution in my voice
Got heart
Got gold
Got the combintation to my soul

So don't talk the talk when you don't believe,
Don't give me oil, I need gasoline
Baby, wanna burn with me?
Don't cry a tear when you can't complete,
Don't talk of life's little miseries
Baby, just burn with me
Don't talk the shit when you don't believe, 
Don't give me oil, I need gasoline
Baby, wanna burn with me?
Don't cry a tear when you can't complete,
Don't talk of life's little miseries,
Baby, just burn

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
