Burn It Down

Don't call me if you miss me Don't call me just to kiss me Honey, if you're listening, I did all that I can But this just ain't no way to live Never get back everything I give Turns out you just can't make a kid love you like a man So I burn it down, down, down, that house on the hillside 'Cause the Lord knows that I tried to make it what it wasn't And all those wild, wild flowers, I crushed 'em up in my hands Everybody knows I could never go down in silence Remember what I said I won't be there, I won't be there, I won't be there And if there's one thing that I know for sure One day, this will hurt you more I'll know that I did all I could do I've said my peace, said my farewell And I won't be at the wishing well When you're begging God to bring me back to you 'Cause I burn it down, down, down, that house on the hillside 'Cause the Lord knows that I tried to make it what it wasn't And all those wild, wild flowers, I crushed 'em up in my hands Everybody knows I could never go down in silence Remember what I said I won't be there, I won't be there, I won't be there Don't you worry about me, it ain't all that bad You're the one that lost the best thing you ever had So I'll keep you like a secret in the back of my mind Tell you like a story when I'm bored sometimes Remember how I loved you when I was naive But the truth is you were never good enough for me Wish that I could say that I wished you well But I just can't go lying to myself So I burn it down, down, down, that house on the hillside 'Cause the Lord knows that I tried to make it what it wasn't And all those wild, wild flowers, I crushed 'em up in my hands Everybody knows I could never go down in silence Remember what I said I won't be there, I won't be there, I won't be there I won't be there, I won't be there, I won't be there I won't be there, I won't be there, I won't be there I won't be there, I won't be there, I won't be there
