Burned

Burned By Hilary Duff

What's wrong with me?
I get lonely in a crowd,
Everyone is smiling,
But I made myself left out.

I got an imaginary shield around me,
But nobody's ever really getting through.
I keep thinking that they're gonna break me free,
But they never do! (no)

When somebody's knockin,
When somebody wants me,
When somebody's trying to love me completely.
I get scared,
Don't know how it works.
Will somebody save me?
Or will I get burned?
Don't wanna get burned..

Is there thickness in the air?
Or are you heavy on my heart?
Why can't I just fit in?
Why can't I do what everyone else does?

People come around like a storm,
When you least expect them to.
For me I run for cover,
When I should really face the truth.

When somebody's knockin,
When somebody wants me,
When somebody's trying to love me completely.
I get scared,
Don't know how it works.
Will somebody save me?
Or will I get burned?

I don't wanna [repeat]

What's wrong with me?
I get lonely in a crowd.
Everyone is smiling,
But I made myself left out.

When somebody's knockin,
When somebody wants me,
When somebody's trying to love me completely.
I get scared,
Don't know how it works.
Will somebody save me?
Or will I get burned?

When somebody's knockin,
When somebody wants me.
When somebody's trying to love me completely.
I get scared,
Don't know how it works.
Will somebody save me?
Or will I get burned?

I get scared, (I get scared)
Don't know how it works. (Don't know how it works)
Will somebody save me? (Will somebody save me?)
Or will I get burned? (Or will I get burned?) [Repeat till end]

This reminds me of Burned by Ellen Hopkins in many ways. First of course is the name of the song, it fits perfect! Also in the book the girl is scared when this boy really loves her. She has been taught not to let a boy in but she just finds something different about this boy. She really cares about him and he really cares about her. She is just afraid of getting "Burned".
