Slow Burn Lyrics by Jenna May

2025

Verse 1
Why do I get such envy
For people I’ll never be?
A girl my age, blooming pop princess
Just because she’s more doesn’t make me less
And I swear because I’m not there
It must mean I’m no good
Even though I know that’s bullshit
I just can’t stop from feeling it
Chorus 1
I’m playing the long game
Wish I started a long time ago
It’s just a slow burn
But I’ve got dreams of where I wanna go
Verse 2
I heard someone say
“It takes 10 years to be an overnight success”
But I’m just so scared that no one
Will see me when i’m at best
And I know it won’t diminish my success
No matter how old I am when I reach it
Chorus 2
I’m playing the long game
Wish I started a long time ago
It’s just a slow burn
But I’ve got dreams of where I wanna go
I’m playing the long game
Wish I started a long time ago
It’s just a slow burn
But it feels so painfully slow
Bridge
I can’t help but feel I’m behind
Every time that I close my eyes
Please tell me it’s in my mind
And that I- I’m right on time
Because a slow burn is just as sweet
At least that’s what they’ve all been telling me
But it’s different when you’re the one on the burner
Chorus 3
I’m playing the long game
Wish I started a long time ago
It’s just a slow burn
But I’ve got dreams of where I wanna go
I’m playing the long game
Wish I started a long time ago
It’s just a slow burn
But it feels so painfully slow
Ooh
Painfully slow
