Crash and Burn
Bif Naked Lyrics

You sink to my level, just like a stone
You lower yourself to my level, plummeting towards the ground.

on your way back to the ground.
You are descending towards the earth.

You wonder what happened to make me different.
You are curious about what made me change.

I'm impatient when you are around.
I become anxious when you are near me.

You're alone.
You are by yourself.

But you get what you deserve.
But you receive what you earned.

Now, we are alone.
Now, we are together and no one is around.

But we get what we deserve.
But we receive what we earned.

If I am alive for the first time.
If I am truly living for the first time.

I must have died inside
Something inside me must have perished.

so I could let go
So I could release myself of

of things that weren't mine.
These are things that were not mine to hold onto.

I'm crashing and burning.
I am experiencing a painful and rapid downfall.

You're crashing and burning.
You are experiencing a painful and rapid downfall.

We're crashing and burning.
We are experiencing a painful and rapid downfall.

If only you listened to words I say,
If only you would pay attention and comprehend what I say.

and hear them for what they are.
And understand the words I am speaking.

I'm hopeful and foolish,
I possess a hopeful yet naive spirit.

but you never change.
But you are always stagnant.

And, that's something I know in my heart.
And that is a truth that I am certain of.

You're a "star."
You are a widely recognized figure of success and fame.

But nothing about you shines.
But there is nothing inherently impressive about you.

I am a star.
I, too, am a figure of success and fame.

And we get what we deserve.
And we receive what we have earned.

You and me will never learn!
We will never comprehend the lesson.

Cause we get what we deserve!
Because we end up receiving what we earned in life.

Baby, we were meant to burn!
We were destined to undergo a painful and rapid downfall.
