BURN BURN BURN
Love's Inferno: A Cautionary Tale of Passion and Deceit
Lyrics
Whoops there I go again making a mistake
Expressing acknowledgment of making a mistake.
That I know I'll regret should have never played your games
Regretting involvement in games that will lead to remorse.
But I got to close to the fire
Getting too close to a risky or dangerous situation.
I let it burn
Allowing a situation to intensify and cause harm.
I let it burn burn burn burn
Emphasizing the consequences of allowing something harmful to continue.
Should have known you're a liar
Realizing the deceitful nature of someone.
But you were on fire and I just denied it
Denying or ignoring the evident problems in the relationship.
(Mmm) familiarity is blinding
Highlighting how familiarity can blind one to the truth.
You say that you and me are nothing
Denying the significance of the relationship.
Then you turn around and lead me on
Contradiction in actions, leading the narrator on despite claims of nothing.
Told myself that I could trust you
Initial trust betrayed by the other person's actions.
Just for you to go and prove me wrong
Having trust shattered by the other person proving the narrator wrong.
Did you really break my heart
Questioning if the heartbreak was caused by the other person or self-inflicted.
Or did I break it myself when I let you in
Considering the possibility of self-sabotage in the relationship.
I thought that I could make it work but I was wrong
Admitting to a failed attempt at making the relationship work.
Lesson learned
Acknowledging a lesson learned from the experience.
Play with fire get burn, burn, burned
Stressing the consequences of playing with risky situations.
Here we go, geronimo
Indicating a daring move into a trap or problematic situation.
I fell in your trap now you won't let me go
Feeling trapped and unable to escape the consequences.
I should have known what's down the road
Regretting not foreseeing the problems in the relationship.
After all this isn't my first rodeo with you
Implying previous experience with similar issues in the relationship.
How I fell again don't got a clue
Expressing confusion about falling into the same pattern again.
Should have know and that's the honest truth
Recognizing the failure to heed warning signs.
Prayed to God and He done warned me too
Mentioning seeking guidance or intervention that was ignored.
(Mmm) familiarity is blinding
Reiterating the blinding effect of familiarity in the relationship.
You say that you and me are nothing
Repeating the theme of denying the significance of the relationship.
Then you turn around and lead me on
Continuing the cycle of leading on despite denials.
Told myself that I could trust you
Reaffirming trust and having it betrayed once again.
Just for you to go and prove me wrong
Experiencing the repetition of proving trust wrong.
Did you really break my heart
Questioning the responsibility for the heartbreak.
Or did I break it myself when I let you in
Considering self-blame for allowing the relationship to cause pain.
I thought that I could make it work but I was wrong
Acknowledging the misjudgment in attempting to make the relationship work.
Lesson learned
Reinforcing the lesson learned from the repeated mistakes.
Play with fire get burn, burn, burned
Reiterating the consequences of engaging in risky behavior.
(Mmm) familiarity is blinding
Stressing the blinding effect of familiarity once more.
You say that you and me are nothing
Denying the importance of the relationship yet again.
Then you turn around and lead me on
Continuing the pattern of leading on despite denials.
Told myself that I could trust you
Repeating the process of trusting and being proved wrong.
Just for you to go and prove me wrong
Experiencing the repetition of trust being shattered.
Did you really break my heart
Questioning responsibility for the heartbreak once more.
Or did I break it myself when I let you in
Reflecting on the possibility of self-inflicted heartbreak.
I thought that I could make it work but I was wrong
Admitting to the misjudgment in attempting to make the relationship work.
Lesson learned
Reiterating the lesson learned from playing with fire.
Play with fire get burn, burn, burned
Emphasizing the inevitable consequences of engaging in risky behavior.
