Burnt Down House

I always knew you would end up in trouble I was warned that she leads a double life And on my knees, I watched it crumble Our house burnt down tonight There's ghosts in the ashes, where we used to live A shimmering glory that's lost in the world For me to carry until I can forgive her Our house burnt down tonight Our house burnt down tonight And memories fall from the sky We watched the world ignite Right under our feet You brought a fire into these walls That kind of heat I've never felt before I started running but I should have crawled Our house burnt down tonight Why so cold, my black hearted mistress? When all that you own has never lived with us It's locked in your personal prison Our house burnt down tonight Our house burnt down tonight And memories fall from the sky We watched the world ignite Right under our feet Our house burnt down tonight And the fireworks wave goodbye The notes of the melody Play out our song black and white Our house burnt down tonight And I see you stuck inside Wasting no tears and that's why my dear You never let go of your pride Our house burnt down tonight And as the fire slowly dies It's a weight off my shoulders In a moment I'll be alright It's a weight off my shoulders In a moment I'll be alright
