The Lyrics of Burning Down:
I guess you never know
Someone you think you know
Can't see the knife when you're too close too close
It scars forever when
Someone you called a friend
Shows you the truth can be so cold so cold
I wiped the dirt off your name
With the shirt off my back
I thought that you'd do the same
But you didn't do that
You said I'm the one who's wanted
For all the fires you started
You knew the house was burning down
I had to get out
You led your saints and sinners
And fed 'em lies for dinner
You knew the house the burning down
And look at you now
And look at you now
How do you sleep at night
No one to hide behind
Betrayed every alibi you had you had
You had every chance to make amends
'Stead you got drunk on bitterness
And you still claim that you're innocent it's sad
That you said I'm the one who's wanted
For all the fires you started
You knew the house was burning down
I had to get out
You led your saints and sinners
And fed 'em lies for dinner
You knew the house the burning down
And look at you now
Used to tell you'd pray for me
You were praying for my downfall
You were digging a grave for me
We were sharing the same four walls
Used to tell you'd pray for me
You were praying for my downfall
You were digging a grave for me
We were sharing the same four walls
And you said I'm the one who's wanted
For all the fires you started
You knew the house was burning down
I had to get out
You led your saints and sinners
And fed 'em lies for dinner
You knew the house was burning down
Used to tell you'd pray for me
You were praying for my downfall
You were digging a grave for me
We were sharing the same four walls
Used to tell you'd pray for me
You were praying for my downfall
You were digging a grave for me
We were sharing the same four walls
And you
