Didn’t set the fire
But we watched it burn
Yeah we built it up to be the envy of the world
And you lie like a fox but you love like an open flame
One minute you hold me down
And now you’re drowning me
So don’t you tell me
Cause words ain’t enough
When the only thing left to give is up
So maybe we should let it burn
Let it be
Don’t you come running back for me
Live and you learn
Maybe we should let it burn
Let it be
Don’t you come running back for me
Live and you learn
Baby we should let it burn
We didn't start the fire
But we watched it fade
This heart we shared has been burned up flames
We're just soldiers in a broken world
Try'na fight the pain
I gave you everything
But our love I can't save
So don’t you tell me
Cause words ain’t enough
When the only thing left to give is up
Maybe we should let it burn
Let it be
Don’t you come running back for me
Live and you learn
Maybe we should let it burn
Let it be
Don’t you come running back for me
Live and you learn
Baby we should let it burn
Had the kind of love were we throw caution to wind
Now rome is burning again
Yeah rome is burning again
Built them tall but now the walls are crumbling in
Now rome is burning again
Now rome is burning again
So don't you tell me
Cause words ain't enough (words ain't enough)
When the only thing left to give is up
Maybe we should let it burn
Let it be
Don’t you come running back for me
Live and you learn
Maybe we should let it burn
Let it be
Don’t you come running back for me
Live and you learn
Baby we should let it burn
Burn, burn, burn, burn
Burn, burn, burn, whoah whoah
Baby we should let it
Burn, burn, burn, burn
Burn, burn, burn, whoah whoah
Burn, burn, burn, burn
Burn, burn, burn, whoah whoah
Baby we should let it burn (burn, burn, burn, burn)
Baby we should let it burn (burn, burn, burn, whoah whoah)
Burn, burn, burn, burn
Burn, burn, burn, whoah whoah
