Burning Up
Just Surrender Lyrics

Could you tell me
Asking the listener if they have ever experienced the pain of losing someone they loved and if it felt worth it in the end.

If you’ve ever really loved and lost?
Asking the listener if they have experienced true love but lost it in the end.

And tell me was it worth the cost when you
Asking the listener if the pain and suffering they went through when they lost their love was worth the experience of being in love.

You said goodbye?
Asking the listener if they were the one to say goodbye to their love or was it the other way around.

And if your love was just a game
Rhetorical question asking if the love shared by the listener was genuine or just a game played for fun.

Then who's the one to take the blame when you
Asking who will be responsible if the love was just a game and someone got hurt in the process.

You can't sleep at night?
Asking if the listener still thinks about their lost love to the extent they are unable to sleep at night.

'Cause deep inside I'm burning up from you
Expressing the feeling of pain and hurt caused by the listener's former love.

You’ve let me down so many times it's true
Acknowledging the fact that the former love betrayed and hurt the listener repeatedly.

You play with fire and you're gonna lose
Warning the former love that playing with fire will have negative consequences.

I'm burning up
Conveying the intensity of pain and hurt felt by the listener due to the actions of their former love.

Burning up from the thought of you
Reiterating the idea that the listener's former love is causing them immense pain and heartache.

You walk the streets at night alone
Imagery suggesting that the former love is lost and alone, as the listener was before meeting them.

Then she calls you on the telephone
Depicting the former love as still trying to reach out to the listener, despite the past hurt caused.

Because she
Hinting that the former love might be regretting their past actions and could be seeking forgiveness.

She can't sleep at night
Suggesting that the former love might also be suffering due to their past behavior.

And now the night comes to an end
Indicating that the new day will bring a fresh start for both the listener and their former love.

As she grabs me by the hand
Imagery suggesting that the former love is willing to work things out and come to a resolution.

She wants to know
Implying that the former love is ready to have a serious conversation and make a change.

Do I want to come home tonight
Asking the listener if they want to give the relationship another chance and finally move forward.

Her bed is cold
Suggesting that the former love is lonely without the listener and wants them back in their life.

She don't like to be alone
Highlighting the fact that the former love needs the support and love of the listener to feel complete and happy.

Just take me somewhere far away from here
Expressing the desire to escape from the current situation and start anew somewhere else.

Dim lit room where I won't show my fears
Asking for a safe space where the listener can finally let their guard down and be vulnerable.

Don't want you to know the truth
Expressing the fear of the listener being judged and rejected if they were to reveal their true thoughts and feelings.

You play with fire and you’re going to lose
Reiterating the warning to the former love that their actions have negative consequences.

Don't want you to know the truth
Rephrasing the previous line, further emphasizing the fear of being judged and rejected by the former love.
