Burn The House Down

Leave the pictures in the frames on the walls

Leave the ghost of you and me in the halls

Leave the TV on in the livin' room, ah

Let the memories disappear in the smoke

Deep breath, let 'em go even if I choke

I know I'll be breathin' easy soon

I'm watchin' the flame do what it does

I'm watchin' a name turn into dust

I'm pourin' gasoline on a king-size mattress

Light it up with some dive bar matches

As hot as it is right now

You can't rise from the ashes 'til you burn the house down

Looks good from the outside lookin' in

Felt more like lyin' though, livin' it

Scared to make a move, I'm scared to make a mess, ah

You can't stitch up this kind of broken heart

Open eyes can't go back into the dark

I can't live a new life with the same address

I'm watchin' the flame do what it does

I'm watchin' a name turn into dust

I'm pourin' gasoline on a king-size mattress

Light it up with some dive bar matches

As hot as it is right now

You can't rise from the ashes 'til you burn the house down

Until you burn the house down

Until you burn the house down

Until you burn the house down

From the ceilin' to the floor

From the back porch to the front door

Little bit stronger, little bit older

No one tells you how to start over

I'm watchin' the flame do what it does

I'm watchin' a name turn into dust

I'm pourin' gasoline on a king-size mattress

Light it up with some dive bar matches

As hot as it is right now

You can't rise from the ashes 'til you burn the house down

Ah, I can't rise from the ashes 'til I burn the house down
