Song About James Lyrics by AVOID

The Burner

2020

[Verse 1]
Maybe I lost my head
Maybe I chose my fate
You had all the answers first (and I was too late)
Maybe I lost my head
Maybe I chose my fate
You had all the answers first (I lost your game)

[Chorus]
No, it wasn’t you
I could see it way back
When I failed, you got the best of me
Nothing makes this simple
About the way you, way you
You got the best of me

[Verse 2]
Scenery is changing
Looking at the broken spaces I have (it’s almost gone)
Surely you don’t notice
But I am standing broken in my path

[Pre-Chorus]
It wasn’t you, it wasn't

[Chorus]
No, it wasn’t you
I could see it way back
When I failed, you got the best of me
Nothing makes this simple
About the way you, way you
You got the best of me
(Way you, you got the best of me) x2

[Bridge]
I don’t want to settle back to this
I’ll come in harder just you watch and see
I can’t live without this
It makes me sick to know you rose above me
Over and over again

[Chorus x3]
No, it wasn’t you
I could see it way back
When I failed, you got the best of me
Nothing makes this simple
About the way you, way you
You got the best of me
