The Idiot Lyrics by Melt

If There’s A Heaven

0

[Verse 1]

I used to write songs on the airplane
Now I just think about people I love dying
Spend the whole flight crying
I used to be so good at small talk
Introduce me to your parents and they fall in love
Now I'm the guy who won’t shut up
At dinner, as the candlelight goes out
I'm always at a simmer
With a fire in my mouth

[Chorus]

How'd I get so serious?
How’d I get so loud?
Sharper than obsidian
Darker than the storm beneath the ground
Alone upon a mountain
Looking down, down, down
I'm the idiot
Burning myself out

[Verse 2]

I used to sing and dance and cry and laugh and run around
Like time would keep on giving
Time to keep on living
But I was dancing on a landslide and I
Rеalised I'd shifted to another planе
So baby now that I've betrayed the sex
What's next?
Oh my!
Telling grandma she's a sinner
As the table rolls their eyes

[Chorus]

How'd I get so serious?
How'd I get so proud?
Sharper than obsidian
Darker than the storm beneath the ground
Alone upon a mountain
Looking down, down, down
I’m the idiot
Burning myself out

[Outro]

I’m burning myself out
Oh, Oh
Burning myself out
Myself out
