Burning Down a Home

London's lonely

Picture perfect lie

Wide eyed but me and you collide

Oh every time I try

Stockholm syndrome

Cellophane lust

Lost track of the idea of us

Oh its never enough

Oh you waste my time

So take your baggage back

You drown me

And I need more than that

I'll be fine

I think it's for the best

If only you could see

That I'm sentimental oh

But it's roses on the floor

I've been holding

On too long (and I'm alone)

And I wish you could be

Only everything and more

Now it's petrol on the floor

And we're burning down a home

Oh you kill the fires

With your one-liners

And I spell out why we're dissonant, I

Self-destruct and I distrust

Oh you interrupt all my best thoughts

Oh you waste my time

So take your baggage back

You drown me

And I need more than that

I'll be fine

I think it's for the best

If only you could see

That I'm sentimental oh

But it's roses on the floor

I've been holding

On too long (and I'm alone)

And I wish you could be

Only everything and more

Now it's petrol on the floor

And we're burning down a home

And you waste my time

So take your baggage back

You drown me

And I need more than that

I'll be fine

I think it's for the best

('til there's only ashes left)

And you waste my time

So take your baggage back

I'll be fine

I think it's for the best
