The Futureheads - Burnt Lyrics

When he called her name, they could go anywhere.
(Then he went somewhere alone.)
Then he changed his voice, to a more serious tone.
(She's alone, he's alone)
So she goes somewhere else, as well, and she gets herself involved, with someone else.
(Can you tell where this is going?)

Wanna help them out? Then hear them out.

[CHORUS]

Got burnt, third degrees,
Never learnt my lesson,
But forgive me please,
Nothing lasts forever and nothing is free,
Please remember to let me down gently.

There are people,
Climbing over walls,
(Just to see how she is feeling)

And they know,
They know it's worth the sweat,
(When they see what she is doing)

If you hear her shout, then please look up.

[CHORUS]

Got burnt, third degrees,
Never learnt my lesson,
But forgive me please,
Nothing lasts forever and nothing is free,
Please remember to let me down gently.
Got burnt, third degrees,
Never learnt my lesson,
But forgive me please,
Nothing lasts forever and nothing is free,
Please remember to let me down gently.
Got burnt, third degrees,
Never learnt my lesson,
But forgive me please,
Nothing lasts forever and nothing is free,
Please remember to let me down gently.
