Burned by You Lyrics

Digging deep
Through the mud
Playing pictures from the past like old reruns

I was asleep
Then I woke up
And now it's clear to me the creature you've become

I'm so tired of this world
I can't take it anymore

Yeah, I don't know what it feels like to be you
But you don't know what it feels like to be used by you
Promises and words you've said
You turned your back and saved yourself
You don't know what it feels like to get burned
Burned by you
Burned by you

Emotions creep
Between the seems
I see it now, I'll be a faded memory

These empty streets
Now comfort me
A thousand miles away, now I can finally breathe

I'm so tired of this world
I can't take it anymore

Yeah, I don't know what it feels like to be you
But you don't know what it feels like to be used by you
Promises and words you've said
You turned your back and saved yourself
You don't know what it feels like to get burned
Burned by you

Yeah, I don't know what it feels like to be you
But you don't know what it feels like to be used by you
Promises and words you've said
You turned your back and saved yourself
You don't know what it feels like to get burned
Burned by you
Burned by you
Burned by you

Digging deep

Yeah, I don't know what it feels like to be you

Yeah, I don't know what it feels like to be you

Promises and words you've said
You turned your back and saved yourself
You don't know what it feels like to get burned
Burned by you

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.
