The Delines
He Don't Burn for Me
[Chorus]
He don't burn for me
He (He), he don't burn for me anymore
[Verse 1]
I can try to deny it
Pull the wool over my own eyes
But I always see through
It's like livin' in a broken down side
He used to call me at work
Just to say hi
He would tell me he couldn't sleep
Unless he was by my side
All these couples who fall apart
Like deserted cars alongside the road
I've always passed them heartbroken
Thought if I looked too long, I'd be the one left alone
Now here I am
[Chorus]
He (He), he don't burn for me
He (He), he don't burn for me anymore
[Verse 2]
Stop me from thinkin' this way
Tell me it ain't so
I'm so broke up and worried
I'm barely me anymore
He won't talk about us
Gets more distant as time goes
Spends his nights out drinkin' with his brother
It's dawn before he comes home
[Chorus]
He, he don't want me anymore
He don't want me anymore
[Post-Chorus]
Told myself over and over
I'd never rely on another
Told myself over and over
That I'd never rely on another
