Burn Out - Midland

Watchin' cigarettes burn out

'Til all the neon gets turned out

I was so on fire for you it hurts how

Fast that a cigarette can burn out

Just watchin' rivers run

Down the side of my bottle

Almost like it’s cryin' my tears

I had the world on a string

And then I lost everything

And that’s how I wound up here

Watchin' cigarettes burn out

'Til all the neon gets turned out

There’s nothing left but empty glasses now

It’s all flashes now

Smokin' memory that ain’t nothin' but ashes

In the low lights

These done-me-wrong songs hit me so right

I was so on fire for you it hurts how

Fast that a cigarette can burn out

If you put your hands on the flame

You’ve got no right to complain

'Cause you know it’s gonna leave a mark

When the glow comes to an end

Like scattered embers in the wind

Leaves you lookin' for a brand new spark

Watchin' cigarettes burn out

No, with every hit

I’m gonna quit

But who am I kiddin' I just can’t put you down

So I keep hangin' around

Watchin' cigarettes burn out

'Til all the neon gets turned out

There’s nothing left but empty glasses now

It’s all flashes now

Smokin' memory that ain’t nothin' but ashes

In the low lights

These done-me-wrong songs hit me so right

I was so on fire for you it hurts how

Fast that a cigarette can burn out

I was so on fire for you it hurts how

Fast that a cigarette can burn out
