Burning for No One - The Cribs

Dancing on the screen

I still see you as

The star power you used to have

(Rose tinted romance)

Like a message from the past

Embarrassed though I am

I’ll still watch you through my hands

(It's a healthy interest I’ll never have)

I’m feeling so eternally grateful

Now I realise

Like a candle on a vacant table

Being so denied

Burning for no one

I`m burning for no one

I guess I’ll be eternally grateful

'Cos I realise

Like a candle on a vacant table

Hidden from your eyes

Burning for no one

I’m burning for no one

Projecting, Yeah I guess

But I talk to those the best

Who’ll never hear me

(Rose tinted romance)

At the altar of your younger self

I’m left to tell your story

(It's a healthy interest I’ll never have)

I’m feeling so eternally grateful

Now I realise

Like a candle on a vacant table

Being so denied

Burning for no one

I’m burning for no one

I guess I’ll be eternally grateful

'Cos I realise

Like a candle on a vacant table

Searching for your eyes

Burning for no one

I’m burning for no one
