Back Burner
Love's Residue on the Back Burner
Lyrics
So often sat on the back burner
Feeling neglected or overlooked, not a priority
Did it ever mean a thing to you
Questioning if the relationship had significance
Couldn't do any more of it
Reached a limit, unable to continue
I had no desire for it
Lacked interest or passion
Then you call me up
Received a call from the other person
Thinking we could make this work
Hopeful about rekindling the relationship
Couldn't see the world I thought
Realized the previous perspective was flawed
Everything I knew was wrong
Everything believed before was incorrect
Why'd you throw my heart away now
Expressing hurt and betrayal
Maybe you could read me like a warning sign baby
Suggesting the relationship had warning signs
I was living in my own little daydream
Living in a fantasy or unrealistic world
So you cast me to the side where I'll stay
Being rejected and left on the sidelines
I'm going back to the back burner
Returning to a state of being ignored
Coz I never meant a thing to you
Acknowledging lack of importance to the other person
Couldn't do any more of it
Unable to continue or invest more emotionally
I had no desire for it
No emotional attachment or longing
I could read you like a book honey
Understanding the other person deeply
Only you were never really written for me
Realizing the relationship wasn't meant to be
Maybe I was too blind to see
Admitting to previous ignorance
Past all the pages with me
Reflecting on shared experiences
So often sat on the back burner
Feeling neglected or overlooked, not a priority (repeated)
Did I ever mean a thing to you
Questioning if the relationship had significance (repeated)
Couldn't do any more of it
Reached a limit, unable to continue (repeated)
I had no desire for it
Lacked interest or passion (repeated)
Then you call me up
Received a call from the other person (repeated)
Thinking we could make this work
Hopeful about rekindling the relationship (repeated)
Couldn't see the world I thought
Realized the previous perspective was flawed (repeated)
Everything I knew was wrong
Everything believed before was incorrect (repeated)
I'm going back to the back burner
Returning to a state of being ignored (repeated)
Coz I never meant a thing to you
Acknowledging lack of importance to the other person (repeated)
Couldn't do any more of it
Unable to continue or invest more emotionally (repeated)
I had no desire for it
No emotional attachment or longing (repeated)
I had no desire for it
No desire for the relationship (repeated)
I had no desire for it
-I had no desire for it
